Red face 3.5 weeks out

I have a question, I am 3.5 weeks out and on soft foods. Initially did well, now am unable to keep any solids down. Fluids are fine, broth good, soup with no solids ok. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Should I be worried or should I just start back at liquids again? Not having pain except after trying solids before I throw it up, then ok again. Please let me know what yall think, I have found yall's advice to be right on the mark and very helpful. Thanks much, Laurie

It sounds like your pouch just isn't ready for solids just yet. I always went back to basics for a day or two if I reacted with any foods. May I suggest you stick to liquids/pureed for another few days and try something solid again.

Also look at the type of solid food you are trying to eat as some are too difficult to handle in the early stages. I might get hollared at here but I found carbs were the easiest thing for me to manage - I had lots of baked potatoes with cheese and beans which kept me going.

It's gonna be trial and error for a while but you will get there in the end.

All the best in your journey
