Hi Alice, I had mine out a week ago and I was kind of how you are, I couldn't eat anything without getting sick...I had lost about 10 pounds because of it. Again, it has only been a week for me, but I returned to work two days after surgery and have been able to eat just fine. I had it out on Tuesday and that night, I ate almost a whole can of brocolli cheese soup no problem. By Friday night I was able to eat a baked potato with everything on it (cheese, sour cream, etc) Saturday we ate at Chilis and the queso didn't even bother me, which it has for months. If your situation is similar to what mine was, you will be soo glad that you got it out. If there are any questions at all that I can answer, let me know.
