Are some days better than others?
I cannot eat much at a time yet, I am 7 weeks post op, but I have felt good....Today, no no.....
Had a little breakfast and felt full much sooner than normal, then lunch, something I had before, my pouch did not like it, I had to throw up, and it was like a foam and then lunch. Has this happened to anybody else? Normal?

What you experienced is the 'foamies'. That is the term used when you eat something to fast or do not chew it well enough and it sits very heavy in your pouch. Eventually you get the 'foamies' which is like throwing up saliva and foam stuff.
I experienced this a lot in the early months out of surgery, but eventually learned to take smaller bites and chew, chew, chew!

Absolutely normal to have some good days & some not so much. Some small pouch days, some bigger. Sometimes food does well, next day -maybe try again later. Your body is continually adjusting to this change. I'm over 2 months out and feel the good days outweigh the bad, especially since I stopped pressuring myself to eat more than 1x/day and have no problem with my shakes (other than taste fatigue).

It's normal! Some days are better than others, one day a food will sit fine, the next it will make you sick. Hang in there, it gets better! My husband is just over 8 weeks out and has the same issues as you.
