One sip too many!

[rome 156]

We'll......I now know what it feels like to have either eaten too much or gone too fast...vomiting. Not something I want to have happen again! Now"I'm a little afraid to drink OR eat. I want to get to the place where I don't have to think so much about this whole process. Not even a month out so I have to be patient and mindful....like it or not!

Yes! Be patient with yourself! It takes 6 - 8 weeks to figure out what works best for you. Having experienced that horrible too full feeling I can agree, that you don't want to go there again! You are learning to listen to your body in a way that is new and different, of course there will be a few "bumps" along the road.

Im just about 5 weeks out. I know what your saying. Today was a good day for me. I need to learn to slow down,,,,,,,

[KrissySMD 38]

I'm only 4 DAYS out. Coming home with all these rules about what I'm "expected" to consume daily. I've managed 2 small Protein Shakes and maybe 1 8oz glass of Water. Now I'm in bed in horrible pain. I'm trying to avoid throwing up. I'm super thirsty but I know if I drink anything too fast or even too much I'll feel worse.

*fingers crossed* to feel better soon.

Ugh

[KrissySMD 38]

BTW...the "expected"/ minimum is (for days 1 to 14)

3 - 8oz glasses of Water

40 grams of Protein

Crush all meds (major gag!)

Walk a minimum of 15 min

Am I just being paranoid? Should I just simmer down and slow down?

I'm 5 days out and my doctor and Nut has given me a diet of clear liquid for one week and only advance after my one week doctor's appt. Then I would advance to full liquids. So I try to sip liquids all day and next week I will advance to protien shakes. Hopefully it will not cause a problem. this program is set up so that your pouch can heal. Good Luck

I can eat pureed food now. But it's so gross. This evening, I'm doing G2 gatorade. One tiny sip to help with dehydrated feeling. Lots of diarrhea as well. Fighting hard against throwing up. Any advise is appropriated. I also tryed sim0le chicken broth w sone unflavored Protein Powder. GROSS. Made the Soup brown w big chunks. Tomorrow I'll try some shake recipes I found for phase 1 diet. Gotta be better than today. :}

@@KrissySMD if you are mixing Protein powder into hot liquid, use a food thermometer to make sure the liquid is under 130 degrees. Otherwise it will clump up like that and yes, it is gross!

Also for pureed food, I found them disgusting if I tried to do something like puree meat with Water or broth. But if I pureed it with a really tasty sauce, put some cheese on top, and heated it up in the microwave, it was more like a casserole and it tasted fine to me. So I did stuff like chicken pureed with marinara sauce & topped with mozzarella, ground beef with BBQ Sauce and cheddar cheese, salmon with tartar sauce -- stuff that would bump up the flavor instead of water it down.

Have you tried the ricotta bake from The World According to Eggface blog? That worked well for me. Also things like poached egg and refried Beans with salsa and cheese.

Good luck!

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday while drinking my Protein shake. I wasn't paying attention and drank it way too fast because I was thirsty. Spent the next 45 minutes on the toilet...yuck! Today I'm sipping my shake and taking it very slow. Live and learn!

How are you able to get all that down!! I'm 3 days post op and I barely get 20ounces in! Isopure for me is nasty and makes me nauseous! I'm so lost and don't know what to do! I'm losing my mind! Please help me!

[KrissySMD 38]

My dietician said "do what you can". And by God that's what I've done! Today is the first day I've thrown up. Ewww....

Today is day 6 for me. Every day is a lesson. I agree, Isopure is naaaasty! I was told to mix the grape flavor with ice and Water to mellow it. NOT. Sure didn't work for me. After reading a bunch today, I ordered New Whey. It's a drink you can add to water or just drink alone. Ut has 42! Grams of protein! Look forward to trying it. Spent a lot of time up straight today to help stuff stay put. One day at a time. Stay hydrated and do only what you can manage. I only got 36g Protein in today. I'll live. We'll all have good and bad days. But we CAN DO IT!

Hope I've been a bit helpful. A lot of what I learn is on this awesome site. There's nothing like talking to people who are right where you are. Don't be upset w yourself. Concentrate on healing. Best of luck!
