How is everyone staying hydrated? I'm not doing such a great job at it...

I hope so.

Great pics n motivation

So for me. I didn't have a pre op diet. As far as now 2 weeks clear diet. 4 weeks soft and purée and then on to more solid foods.

Ty for encouragement. I'm almost six weeks out and wonders will it get better. Lots of complications

How are u getting that much protein and fluids in?

I am a little over a month. They did a upper GI and since it was so much scar tissue they had to cut me open and staple me back.

Well I thought it was just me! I had mines 3/12. Everything was going good then when I was drinking it was causing me pain. I went to the doctor and found out my scar tissue was closing my stomach hole. I had to get surgery to remove the scar tissue but they had to cut me open. I got staples then it got infected and I too have a hole in my stomach and a nurse comes every day and changes my packing as well. Friday it will be a week since infection. I'm also having a hard time with fluid intake / I'm not meeting the requirements. So your not alone at all. They say it gets better but ............

You should contact your surgeon to make sure that your scar tissue isn't closing your holes. It happened to me. Also my aunt.

I also have a hard time getting them in

How do you know if your pouch likes something? How do you know if it doesnt how do you feel?

Getting upper GI.. Still painful to drink ... Twice in three days

Since having surgery I have come to realize how much I love food. Food was really my comfort. I loved everything about it and still do. I cry because I can't eat like I used to. I know its better for me but it doesn't take away that I miss my old friend

Does anyone feel nausea throughout the day and after they eat? What do you do for it? Please help

Whelp. I can't drink without pain and nausea. So my doctor said come in the ER.. hope all is well. All I can do is trust in God. ....

Everything is good. Back on liquid due to nausea ...

Hope u feel better. Tim waiting to get CT scan. A little dehydration

As soon as I eat something I have to burp. Does anyone else experience this

Oh.. maybe my bites are to big. How long after do you wait to drink?

I mentioned texture wise...

How does it taste

How do you make your tofu.?

Umm. Ginger Ale.... would love to have one!!! How was it?

In my opinion its all up to that particular individual. I am almost a month out and I don't log. I am on soft and puree foods. I have been on we and mfp in the past but for someone like me it gets boring after awhile. Just be mindful of intake of protein n carbs and make good choices. With our pouches being smaller me personally don't see anything wrong with a treat every now and then (whatever it maybe) we have to live. Also most of have yrs of bad eating habits it wont be undone overnight. Start small.

Its about a cup n I sip on it throughout the day
