Food not setting well in my stomach, help!

So the past two days I have been TRYING to eat but  find after eating 2-3 bites I have to go get sick, this from eggs which I tried for the first time last night, that didin't go well, so today I ate Chicken salad w/egg which went down okay 2 days ago today after 2 bites I got sick! Thats my protien and its not going down! So I had a glass of milk and am worried about trying anything else to eat.....What to do????

What food stage are you in?

Eggs are touch and go for people in the beginning. I had a hard time. Not sure what stage you are on but perhaps you are not ready to move foward just yet. Try sticking with of the full liquids for a few days while your stomach settles. Shakes, pudding, yogurt, cream of wheat and then slow try to move foward trying just a couple new things. I recall from the beginning Donna would tell me to step it back when I got sick and let the stomach heal a little. You could call the clinic and see what they suggest!

Best wishes!!

Angela said it exactly right!! Eggs are touchy. I am 6 months out and still can't always keep them down....nor meat!! Hang in there and take it slow!!

Dianne, does your DR know of all your eating problems.  How post-op are you?  I was having problems post-op and called my DR.  It was a good thing I did because I had to go in and have emergency surgery that night.  Please call your DR.  It could be something really simple or he may want to see you.

Talk to Nutritionist at FSWL support  group, she said to drink more juice and milk if thats what sits well and try to go slowly with food, so I did eat applesauce last night with no troubles, so just hopin it goes well I really don't want a stricture or any more surgery or hospital visits!

Baby steps...  definitely alert your doctor if something alarms you, but eggs, chicken, meat in general can take a while to agree with your pouch.

Cottage cheese is high in protein, as are some of the Greek yogurts (Trader Joe's & Fage are high in protein, but  a "Greek" yogurt I saw at Cub last weekend was not...)  Just try things that sound mild, soft, and give you the best bang for your bite.   Tuna is really good to, if you add a bit of LF or FF mayo & mu**** up good!

GOOD LUCK TO YA!

Remember to keep everything as close to a soft baby food consistency as you can. Are you keeping the foods you're eating a moist consistency? Foods at this stage should be wet or or as sloppy as baby food. Especially if you're having trouble.  I don't know what else to tell you except maybe you need another follow up appt with your sugeon.

Do you have some protein powder? Since milk works well for you, you could focus on getting your protein that way as you ease into the purees.  Lots of people have problems with eggs early out as well as meat.  I made a scrambled egg with a little Velveeta mixed in and a little milk and made them really  moist and it went down fine that way. I dried them out once, and it didn't sit well.

Since you're south, get some greek yogurt like Darla suggested from Valley Natural Foods off cnty rd 11. Get the plain stuff and try adding some sugar free jam. Really high protein and it should sit well in your pouch.

I know the NUT suggested juice and milk, bu****ch out for the  sugar in the juice. I still haven't had fruit juice and I'm 5 months out. (scares me for some reason)  I know it's hard finding things that sit well and you enjoy, but it's better to have something protein, that you don't necessarily enjoy that sits well so you don't feel sick, get it stuck or whatever.  It takes time to get the eating figured out, sucks, but it's the truth.
