:confused:I am new to the site and am scheduled for surgery in 1.5 weeks. I did my pre-op and am really second guessing whether or not to do this. I don't know if I am ready to be so worried about ..."did I chew that enough, is this too big of a bite, and is this going to get stuck." And I am really worried about getting in the healthy foods like whole grain food...which many seem to have trouble with and fresh fruits and vegi's, which I have also heard many struggle with. And how much can you actually eat in a sitting....a 1/4 C or 1/2 C or more???? I don't want to end up limited to canned fruits and vegis which have far less nutrients and processed meats instead of healthy cooked lean ones due to dryness, and no whole grains due to breads and Pasta and rice being troublesome.
Can anyone shead some light on the fact vs fiction of all this.
Also I heard on gal say that at family get togethers she eats after everyone else to make sure that she eats slow enough and thoughtful enough to not get that dreaded stuffed stoma feeling????
and, i am super paranoid of being able to feel the device during excersizes, like pilates or crunches or twists, and of course sex.???!!!
thanks....
