I'm 7 weeks out from surgery tomorrow and I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!! You're lucky you have been moved to those foods already.... I have been on pureed for weeks now and hate it. (But I have been eating softer foods that 'puree' in my mouth.
). Next week I can "attempt" (and I use the word LOOSELY) to eat soft, moist meat and steamed vegetables. I can't eat much NOW, and I have barfed too many times to count and I hate it. I have been grilling tilapia for myself (the fish is 3 oz) and I am lucky if I can eat 1 - 1 1/2 oz. One more nibble and it's barf time. I look forward to the day when I can EAT something and feel like it is a meal, and not have it make my throat/chest/sleeve feel bad. I've seen the surgeon... there is nothing wrong with my new stomach. I just can not eat much at all. I had tried to get 1/2 cream of broccoli soup in and did manage that a couple weeks back, but I got to say: I am not living on soup. Something better change.
And the bubbly feeling in my throat after eating, sipping water and even when I sleep (when I can sleep)... I have that. Insomnia issues BIG TIME.
