Question:
I am 3.5 weeks post op

I ate some fish today and got some stuck. I made my self throw up to see if I can get it up.. It finally did but now I am sore in that area do you think I damaged my pouch.. I am eating and drinking fine except for the soreness in my chest.    — Catherine B (posted on April 11, 2003)

Cathrine, I doubt you did any harm. Most of us have had to throw up at one time or another after surgery, even if it was just once. It can be a normal thing sometimes, so don't worry about it. Just make sure you chew very slowly and thoroughly and you should be ok.

my surgeon gave me a diet to follow..it was from a nutritionist..he works hand in hand...anyway it is way to soon for solids...i managed soft foods like yogurt, jello, soup, till about 6 weeks...then easy does it...i am almost 4 months and chicken can still "get stuck". somedays are better then others..good luck!
