The Learning Curve

Jan 04, 2010

I got over-confident this weekend.  After sampling quite a few foods sucessfully...chicken, eggs, a few veggies, even a little toasted bread, I decided to try a recipe I had been working on.  WLS Friendly Beef Stroganoff.  I made it in the crock pot so it was very tender.  The sauce was made with greek yogurt even...a virtual protein festival!  Well, it sounded like a great idea, but my pouch thought differently!

Two bites and I thought I was destined for the ER.  I was in P-A-I-N.  I felt like I had something stuck, or at least that was what I thought.  I walked, heck I jumped around, hoping I could dislodge it, burp maybe, anything!  I was a little desperate.  Then I thought, maybe I was going to be sick.  After wretching for a minute, I let out the mother of all burps...sweet relief!  Unfortunately that was not the end of the story.

Later that night, I felt ill again, and I spent the better parts of the wee morning hours living in the loo.  When morning broke, I felt better thank goodness.

I may need some therapy before I get up the nerve to try beef again too....lol  That was not something I ever want to repeat.  From now on, I will respect the pouch!   Lesson learned.
