Re: started solids..& depressed

[Guest guest]

I don't think you should be able to eat anything you want at this

stage....You had surgery on 11/18, right? Stay away from the carbs -

totally. My doc says no veggies for 4 months. I'd stick with

protein only. I'm doing eggs, cheese, soy meatballs, etc. Get back

to basics and see how you feel.

Best of luck and feel better soon!

a very small bite and wait atleat 3 minutes before taking another bite i get

this pain and nausea....and i have heard that bread of any sort will swell so

This too will pass. Stay positive. I had these same problems and you are

going to have to eat reeeaally slow. Use a baby spoon so you don't put too much

in your mouth at one time and chew really good also. Right now the opening

going into your stomach is real small and it takes longer for the food to get

into your stomach, this is why it hurts in your chest and feels like it is

stuck. Actually what is happenings is that you are filling your esophagus up

with

food and it has to have time to empty into your stomach. Hang in there girl

it gets a lot better. If you want to talk more give me a call.

Thank you all for the advice.

I do eat very slowly and it still feels the same. I am on meds for

this but the one he gave me to take (Reglan)before eating I can not

take all the time I am suppose to take it 30 min before each meal

but it puts me to sleep and I have 3 children and have to do alot of

arrons during the day while they are at school so this is a big no-

no. I have only been on solids for 2 days and feel as tho it will

never get better. But I read in a health journal that you can feel

nausiated and sick for at least 3 months post op. I just wish my

nausia would go away. I have put myself back on liquids and purees

and even when I drink tiny sips it hurts.

So again thank you all for the advice

WOW, that's quite a list! I was surprised to see veggies, I am

assuming you mean canned?
