I can't eat for about an hour after I wake up and I do best when I prep my tummy with something liquid first. I don't tend to get sick on soft foods unless I have had something too cold to drink too close to eating. My problem is dinner, I seem to get sick kind of random but I'm working out ways to prevent it, for it I have to focus on tiny bites and not having anything cold to drink just like breakfast.

I'm glad I found this thread!

I am 5 months out and I get nauseous in the am... so I have replaced breakfast with a protein shake. It isn't fool-proof as they can make me nauseous too, but not as much as anything else. Sounds like its common.

I was told that you may end up with some food intolerances post surgery. I've noticed that I don't tolerate large doeses of milk products (I'm seven months post surgery), and i first noticed it with the Whey Protein mix, I've since switched to Soy Protein Isolate, and found it much easier to tolerate. This is not to say I can't have a little milk in my tead, or a little cheese. So, I would suggest you leave the cottage cheese alone for now... I have found Greed yogurt to be good (and it's very high in protein, I sweeten it with a little sweetener) and i add a little low cal jam (2x the fruit style); and sometimes a couple of tablespoons of granola for my breakfast. All you can do is experiment for yourself to see what works and what doesn't... and check with your dietician, they have all kinds of great suggestions!

I can never eat right away. I start out in the morning taking my vitamins and drinking at least 1 or 2 glasses of water before I try to put any protein in there. I get grouchy pouch sometimes too. I was excited the other day when I actually ate an egg and it didnt make me sick! Yayyy! I did try some steamed brocolli the other day and that was still a big no....pouch no like that one still!
