first time throwing up

Oct 21, 2009

well, monday was the start of soft foods.  i had pain right smack in the middle of my stomach.  it felt like a hand turning into a fist.  it would come and go in waves.  the pain was so GREAT.  never felt anything like it. 

the surgeon on call thought it was constipation but after a few hours of this ..........i finally threw up.  i felt a lot better.  my stomach was very tender.  it didnt even like sips of water.  i didn't have a protein drink for 12 hours because of this

so, yesterday at my follow up with the surgeon.  he mentioned it was most likely too much food too soon.  the whole was getting blocked.  GEESH!!!  now i know.............so, i'm afraid to eat.  not sure how often to eat.  so, i'm sticking to liquids more because its something i know.  i have noticed that greek yogurts going down are ok  as is cottage cheese.  tried chicken last night and my stomach was not too happy

i guess this will be a guessing game until i get into the groove of it
