What to eat stage two?
I am so tired all the time and i have started getting a headache. I also get nauseous if i don't eat. Ill have that ask the doc if i might have hypoglycemia I get sick to my stomach if i go too long without eating. I'm hoping stage two in a couple days will help and i can have some things that will make me feel better. i don't feel balanced at all. I have no energy and nauseous.
Are you getting enough protein? Spreading your protein shakes out evenly over the course of the day will help keep your blood sugar even.

Today i think i only got one in and alot of water. I know I havent had one day with good protein intake it is so nauseating to me. I think ill call the doc tomorrow and ask what else i can do. I am so ready to move on the the pureed or soft isn't it the same thing?
I appreciate the help Kelly you are always such a bright light,. Bless you
Pureed is stuff the consistency of applesauce. Basically it's food but you don't really have to chew it. Soft food is, well, pretty much anything soft, like you can cut it with a fork, but it's not baby food consistency. You get to chew.
Not getting enough protein can actually make you feel nauseous. I know it's hard to get the protein in when you feel nauseous, believe me, I had a really hard time with that the first three months. but you'll probably feel better once you start getting it in.

This helps me allot. Is peanut butter and a banana with chocolate protein shake a good example? Maybe some ice and almond milk. I had some this morn and it seems to agree with me. I worry about fat intake too. I have today and tomorrow and then puree for two weeks. So far nothing feels as bad as just the shakes alone. I hope today is a better day. Yesterday was long and i just felt yucky all day. So tired . What are the chances of hurting my pouch with soft /puree foods 14 days out? I had some soup and added some cheese yesterday but it didn't set well. I think i had too much and maybe too fast. Everyday is a learning experience and i appreciate all your help. I am learning patience. So far lost 9 lbs in two weeks:)
Pureed foods won't hurt you pouch. If they don't sit well, go back to full liquids for a couple days, then try again. But it won't hurt your pouch.
Small amounts of fat are OK. We need a little bit of fat in our diet.
It is a learning experience, with lots of trial and error to figure out what works for you. You should feel a little less tired when you're able to get your protein in.
