DebinPhoenix Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I am now on the soft foods phase and could probably add solids but am having some issues. After just a few bites I am uncomfortable. Anyone else that tight? Also I have gotten sick twice after eating. A small amount of potooes and then I forgot and took a few sips of water. Threw up major slime for an hour after. Then today, I had a few bites of mac n cheese and got sick about 20 minutes later. In both cases, I had gotten in a moving car and wondering if that caused it. Either way, I got uncomfortable, I could feel extra saliva in the back of my throat and a bit later, threw up "slimy saliva" for a bit. Really going to out a crimp in eating out for business lunches if I can't get into a car afterwards. Anyone else having similar issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolek Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi, Sorry to hear about these issues. Have you been in a car after eating meat and veg? I know after banding I had to say goodbye to potatoes,pasta, rice and bread. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrafarmer Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think you're just discovering what you can't eat any more. I can't eat rice or hard pretzels. Do you have that response to all foods or just some and what if you don't get in a car. If it happens with everything I would call the OCC.

thinagainandforever Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I had the sleeve done 3 months ago. When I started on solid foods, I had to sort of ease into them. Start with fairly soft or mushy foods. Even now, my morning and daytime meals are semi-soft - oatmeal for breakfast, high protein yogurt or tuna fish for lunch. It also takes a while to be able to eat more. In the beginning of my solid foods, a couple of bites of salmon or chicken would be enough; I can definitely eat more now. Drinking too soon after eating solid food is a major problem and seems to almost always result in sliming -- not fun. Which is one of the reasons I stick with soft or mushy during the day. Three months out, there do not seem to be any foods I can't eat (although I haven't tried mac 'n cheese). But going in to solid foods really is a process. And eating after the surgery is definitely a learning process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
