Tried eating normal food today

Well, tried to eat normal (not soft) food today.  I'm 1 month today, and I tried some fish.  Not so good.  I ate about 1 oz. and it started to feel so uncomfortabe, I stopped, and then I couldn't even take a sip of water for about an hour and a half.  I think I'm going to stay on soft foods for a little while longer. I was nervous to try something not soft, and maybe it was psychological, but I'm not ready yet.  But I'm okay with that.  Hope everyone else is having a good day. Jo

Hi Jo...I found after surgery I was no longer able to eat fish...white fish anyway.  I can eat tuna and salmon and that's it now.  The others seem to get stuck and is painful when I eat them, no matter how much I chew.  One month out, soft scrambled/poached/hard boiled egg and tuna (not together) were my friend.  I found weeks 3-12 were the hardest for me for figuring it out.  Good luck with finding what works for you.

Hi Jo, Unfortunately there is a lot of trial error. Just be patient and try and figure out what foods agree with your new system. You'll get it figured out, don't worry. Take care, Carey

Jo the first thing I puked up was fish . Seemed the texture of the flesh was abrasive to my pouch made me very uncomforatable. Other things were broccli, corn on the cobb kernals, to name a few I can eat all of them now in moderation don`t worry things will settle down but it is a trial and error time for you right now..
