So, it was bound to happen. I finally vomited today for the first time since surgery. The doctor told me that it was inevitable, but I was so sure that it wouldn't happen LOL
I am now on the full regular diet, meaning that I eat different things, try different things, until I find exactly what works best for me. With today being Easter there were a lot of new foods that I haven't had since before surgery. I'm not sure if it was one specific kind of food, or the fact that I ate more than I was supposed to, or that I ate too fast. I think it may have been the barbecue beef rib that I had a little bit of. The meat was super tender, so I don't think it had to do with that, but I do think I ate a little too fast.
The next thing I knew I felt very full and very nauseous. I went to the upstairs bathroom, opened the toilet lid, and it just came right up. It wasn't like when you have the flu and you puke for an hour. It was really fast, and only whatever the pouch couldn't hold is what came out. The other food did not come up.
In any event, I did try a lot of new food today. All in all everything went well, except for this one little learning experience. The moral of the story here is to make sure you take small bites, eat slowly, and listen to your new stomach when it tells you it's full. :-)
