7 days postop with bad cramping, nausea and vomiting

[LoriC519]

I was told at the one week mark I could add soft proteins to my diet. So today I took a bite of cheese and a bite of deli turkey. And later on had a half cup of milk. I have had severe burning pain and have vomited several times.

I realize I shouldn't have added the cheese and deli meat because that's what is coming up. What I want to know is when will these symptoms let up? Is it dumping syndrome or did I just try to eat the wrong things?

Remember your pouch is fresh and healing, the cheese and turkey probably is just sitting in the pouch and not doing much, I would suggest drinking fluids to get it down past the pouch. If it persists, contact your surgeon. I would not think that the cheese and turkey are considered soft foods. Puree, or have some yogurt. Or a soft cheese like Ricotta. That is my suggestion and opinion, I am hardly an expert.

1 week post op start with soft scrambled egg, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, cream of wheat think mushy food. Remember to eat slowly and not to drink anything 30 minutes before or after eating. Good luck!
