Trouble with soft solids

[soon to be not big AL]

Hoping someone can advise on this one. I’ve been on soft solids now for just over a week with varying success. It seemed to be going well but for the last two days the majority of what I have eaten has caused chronic indigestion and induced vomiting. None of the food is new as I make most up in batches and freeze portions up, one day I’m fine on it the next its like I’ve swallowed a melon and its big white telephone time. I am eating slowly and only use a teaspoon. All advice welcome.
Cheers
Al

Hello there, the indigestion does suggest that your eating too quickly as well as the vomiting and when u sed about u felt like u swollowed a melon I come too think that ur not chewing it enough or swallowing too much at one time. HTH all the best - MeJulie xx

Yeh hun does sound like ur goin a bit fast, also try adding a little milk to ur puree to make it a little softer it could be that u still are quite swollen in ur little pouch xx

The only time I get that Al is if I eat too fast! I am terrible for it, I really try to slow down but its not easy when youve always eaten so fast! I dont get indigestion as much as a pain in the chest and I have to stop. Maybe its the same for you.....your fast tabs should stop you getting indigestion I think.....good luck XX

I found at that stage once I had eaten something once or twice I got a it cocky and didn't really pay attention to the portion size or chewing it properly. It just takes a while to get used to it but you will get there. If you are still being sick after food, go back to liquids for a days to give the pouch a rest and then try again. If its still the same then phone your surgical team.x x

Al it really is a trail and error time, and what pouchy will accept one day doesn't mean it will accept it another day, I dont think there will ever be a real reason for this but its just the way it is....... I have found that eating very very small tiny amounts really slowly and chewing well does the trick..... consistancy does make a difference too, so check all this and good luck mate... I totally understand, the whole big white telephone,I have been there far too many times....... all the best on your Journery mate....
