This is icky but in the name of forewarning people i feel i should mention. everyone's pouch is different but mine does not like fast eating.

i have been trying to get all my protein through food. however it meant that i ate my lunch and dinner within about 2 hours of each other. that was not wise. that was 3 days ago. and i was so sick. like vomiting sick. no good right.

so the next night i decide, again i need protein so i think i will try to eat more. again pouch was super unhappy with my decision. vomiting up a ton.

so post surgery be forewarned vomiting and nausea and awful feelings can happen. before that i didnt feel full very much. occasionally. usually if i ate too fast and then i would feel full after. but this, this was just dreadful.

EAT SLOW> take your time.

(drink the stupid shakes. )

Dont be me.

be smart

Great advice. I know by portioning out my food that even though I don't feel super "full" that I've eaten enough. I can fini**** all but know that's my limit even if my brain is wishing I had more. I too would love to get all my protein from food but it's going to take a long time before that's my reality. Even if I've been lucky enough so far to not have dumping. Key is not to pu**** Thanks for the candid reminder!

Yep it is a hard pill to swallow, kind of like the vitamins lol,

but you still need shakes and bars at this stage. mostly shakes

That doesn't sound like fun at all, but I guess there was a lesson to be learned. Sorry !

I also have had a similar experience trying to get all my protein in from food and eating myself sick. I quickly realized that it's just not worth it , so I am staying on the shakes until I can consume enough food to comfortably get my protein in from food without feeling overwhelmed.

Besides I enjoy my 1 protein shake daily.

So many twists and turns pre, and post op.

Feel better fast.

I have lucked out so far. In Hamilton we don't have a pureed stage so I was a little worried about how the eating would go. I planned it out that my meals are small and I make sure there is protein going in every 2 hours. I have breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. That spans 10 hours of my day and about 2.5 of that is eating. I do drink up to my meal time and try to go the 30min after withou****er. I am a sipper though so at most with a drink (a few sips) I am getting the 30-50mls in. So far *knock on wood* this has worked for me. It has also helped having a system because I don't feel hungry and could probably go the day without eating.

That sounds horrible. I would expect that after the surgery vomiting would be very painful and hard on your pouch.

it is a bit hard on the stomach but its not vomiting like it used to be, less violent retching more ( i think someone mentioned it in another post,) like an overflow but still pretty intense
