I'm 3 weeks post op and I'm having problems transitioning from stage 2 (full liquids) to stage 3 (cottage cheese, eggs, soft vegetables and canned fruit). I get nauseated just about every time I try to eat. Having no problems with liquids or protein shakes, is this a common problem?

I dont know.

But here are some questions for you. I do not mean to sound simple.

1) Are you eating with a baby spoon?  YOu should. Helps with small (like size of your pinkie fingernail) bites

2) Are you chewing the soft food to an applesauce consistency

3) are you weighing or measuring the quantitity you are consuming (mine was 1/4th cup).

4) are you eating this quantitity over 30 minutes?  I was to eat 1/4th cup over an entire 30 minute period. Not 10.

This is what my NUT told me. I have not had tummy troubles.

Or i was lucky
