Question about diet after a vomiting incident

I had not discussed this with my surgeon and probably should have...

I ate turkey last night and it did not go down.  I didn't chew it down good enough and an hour later I threw up.  I must have still had some backed up because I threw up again an hour after the first incident.  Then I went to bed.  So my question is - do I need to do a liquid diet today or mushy food?  Figured I would get a quicker answer here then calling my doctor who could take hours to call me back.  I had a protein shake fro breakfast (which is usual) and been drinking water and had some cottage cheese.  But it is lunch time and I am wondering if I should do another protein shake or if I can eat something else.


Thanks for any input you have.

Usually when I get sick, I can go back to eating just fine the next day. There were a few times when I had to go on liquids for a full day after, but I think that was because I was actually sick, not from not chewing properly. Just be really careful when you chew.

I've had a few vomiting incidents, related to (I think) my not chewing my food well enough and/or eating too fast.  The times it's happened, I can't (and don't want to) eat for several hours afterwards, but when I finally eat again, I really make sure I go slowly, and so far, haven't had any problems.  I just saw my doc yesterday, and told him about these episodes, and since it isn't a regular occurrence, he wasn't really concerned, and didn't offer any advice other than to agree that I should slow down, LOL!

If I were you, I'd just evaluate how your tummy feels, try something like maybe tuna salad or egg salad (not a real solid protein, like chicken or beef), go slowly, and see what happens.

Not sure if this is helpful, but at any rate, hope things go better today.
