Eating

I had my surgery and i am on day 6. The doc said 2 week fluids but i have been getting a little hungry. I tried to eat one egg slow and it did not take. So today i bought a lemonade and a small fry. The lemonade was pkay but i ate about 6 fries and it came up. I am just really grtting frustrated. I am just trying to get better so i can start eating again healthy food or whatever. I feel a lot better bc i am working out some and driving. Not eating is bothering me. I will just have to keep trying but go very slow.

If you are genuinely trying to get better, follow your doctor's orders and don't try eating things you shouldn't be eating yet.

Be careful with what you choose to put in your new little tummy! Stick with the plan and drink your shakes. When it's time, add in the mushy stuff like refried Beans and yogurt, don't go straight to sugar and starches (lemonade & fries). Your body needs things that will be very nourishing and give you the things you need because you don't have a lot of space to work with. Please be careful.

when I first started bringing in foods I tried Yogurt, applesause, mashed potato's...Fries should never be part of your early on meals...and remember you can't drink and eat at the same time, that might be why it came back too. Try to not drink anything until 40 min after your meal and not less than 10 min ahead of eating.

You can do this! it's not easy that's for sure but don't get frustrated and go back to old ways. start slow, baby tummy needs baby foods to start Good luck!

Thank You All

I have found chewing on ice gives me the chewing sensation that I needed!! I don't think in the first two weeks any of us will be really full! Do what the doctor said for best results! ????

That is a great idea! Thank you for this I have been wanting to chew so bad but just couldn't think of what might work with the diet.
