3 weeks post op help

[Liss39]

Hello,

I’m new here and joined because I don’t have a lot of people who are going through this with me. I have friends who have done this but they are so far out they don’t remember the beginning stages. My doctor has me moving up to stage 3 diet which is puréed food, including ricotta, cottage cheese, puréed fruits and veggies, etc. I tried whipped cottage cheese and the pain I experienced was awful. It felt like my stomach was spasming and the pain kept coming in waves. It lasted about 20 mins and luckily passed but I felt like I was going to throw up after for a little while. Has anyone ever had this moving up from liquids to puréed foods? I’m not sure what happened but I’m guessing maybe too big of a bite?

My guess is the whipped cottage cheese may have had too much air whipped into it. I am 4 months post-op and whenever something didn't sit well, I shelved it for another two-ish weeks, then tried again. When I got the all-clear to eat solids, I was so excited, but I could barely get any solids down and I was very uncomfortable. So even though my healing was in the right place, my body just wasn't ready and I tried again a couple of weeks later. To this day, I am still much more comfortable eating high-protein soups because the meat is tender and saturated. I hope that helps!
