[BOOTS]

Ok Im Paranoid Again. Today I Started My First Food. Cream Of Wheat With A Drop Of Non Sugar Applesauce. Where Is It??? I ate It Early This Morning And It Hasnt Come Out Of Me Yet. Im Soooo Used To Making Runs To The Bathroom While I Was On Liquids. Is It Stuck?? Is That Possible? My Pouch Feels So Stuffed From That Still And That Was So Early This Morning.

Boots is a wierd feeling when you fist start eating foods. I remember just taking a bite and getting that full feeling. Its wierd. The whole journey is a wierd roller coaster. Im only 3 months out and things are still different daily and weekly.
I guess its good that you didnt have to run to the bathroom right away but it does take time for your body to say what is going on.
I think its ok and your doing fine. Try to keep sipping your liquids too. That sometimes makes me feel better.

No Not That Full Feeling I Mean My Pouch Is Filled I Can Feel It.

yeah see now that you are on soft foods you arent gonna go like how you were....i dont think. i think thats when i became a little uncomfortable actually. because i would eat puree and i could feel it sitting there in my gutts until 2 or 3 days later when i FINALLY went to the bathroom. that was the worst part of all of this more me. being uncomfy until i let loose lol! you're doing fine fine fine. dont worry. just drink. sippin helps keep you from getting constipated.

Hmmmmmm you can feel the pouch. I dont know if I had that feeling. I might have but maybe I associated it wrong. And I agree with Kenya. That feeling of gong to the bathroom was good. ITs like things empited out.

Try sipping some water or if you can walk around. Walking always helps me feel better. Dont know why but it does. Still now 3 months out I go for walk when I get than uneasy feelign.

Yes Kenya Its Right In My Gutt!!!! I Sit Here And Think Should I Eat Lunch? Im Afraid.

How long ago did you eat breakfast? Quite a while ago? Have you drank anything recently? I know my surgeons rule of thumb was to allow at least a 1/2 hour in between things. So if you havent drank or eaten I would try it and just take it very slow. You need to get your protein in. Have you done yoru shot yet? I know you said you wer maybe gonna cut back. See how that goes maybe or just take a bite of lunch and take it slow. The slower the better. I accidently did some times too fast and that was not a good feeling. Hang in there.

well edie, if you are on a schedule, like something to eat every two hours or whatever, eat. dont skip meals. it will come out eventually but also dont FORCE food. if you feel like you're gonna be sick, then dont.

and like a new me says, it should be 1/2 hour before changing fluids/ liquids etc. did you drink after breakfast?
