  1. Ouch!

    · jennifer G · 01/17/2012 04:42

    Today is day eleven and I have been telling people it has been two weeks. I feel like I have been sleeved much longer than eleven day, and I am not sure why this is. As a result of this I think I have been adding some foods back a little to early. At my Dr apt he said I could start on soft foods like egg and cheese. I did the egg and it was good and had no issues. Today I went out to lunch with my kids after one of their DR appointments to Panera Bread. I choose the potato soup. I have been doing well with soup at home and even had potato soup at another restraunt with no problems.
     
    The soup at Panera just about killed me! I have had very good luck with all food so far but the soup there made me bend over double and my stomach cramped like I have never felt in my life. I called my Dr office and ask Mary the nurse if my stomach was going to bust open or what. She said not and to give it a bit of time then call her back to let her know if it passed. After about 15 min of spasms and cramping , noises coming from upper and lower stomach and a stop to a bathroom just in case it did subside for at least 20 min until I got home and had to run to the bathroom again. Around ten min in the bathroom and both kids wondering if I was going to be able to make it to the pool , it was gone. I Never want to have that again. The nurse said it was probably something in the soup like high fat or oil content. AllI can say is I am leery to try cream soup ever again. I will say it again Never will I ever want to have that happen aging.
     
    So my question to any one who read this post is what have you had issues with when it comes to food?

  2. Peanut Butter Cracker!

    It is my fifth day out and I have been trying to reacquaint my stomach to my head, it isn’t easy. I feel like I have been doing well on the liquid diet and really don’t seam to have an appetite right now, however I am now craving a peanut butter cracker and I think this is so strange. I haven’t even been able to figure out when I am full or when I am really hungry. I seam to be acting very cautious with volume of food and haven’t had to give any of it up which is one of my goals, because I cant imagine how that would feel on my very sore stomach.
     
    After thinking about this PB cracker for two day now I did just give in and ate it very, very slowly, making sure it was going to pass for a liquid. I will see later if that worked however now I do feel satisfied, is this crazy or what?
