Hi guys, I've found that my pouch doesn't like cold. It's like I can feel everything cold moving through my body, it feels so crazy. Anything hot or warm my pouch enjoys! They gave my hot water in the hospital I brought peppermint tea for the gas and I felt very good with that.

Has anyone else had a funny acting pouch the first week out.

I wii have to admit that when this conversation first started I really did not have any pouch craziness that I thought I could tell. Then I went to the doctor today and told her that I got real nauseous after drinking Water. Then she said, was it cold and I said of course. So now I'm aware that my pouch is crazy acting also. Just need to watch the cold stuff for awhile, she said it only does that in the beginning stage of the pouch. So good news it gets better along the way! HURRAY!

No I haven't but I thing the peppermint tea was smart and a good idea. You should start a thread where people can post good ideas that help and post that. I'm sure everyone has something cool that can help others.

Great idea. I'm just starting my journey and already have a list of things I'll need before, at the hospital, and after surgery. This tea is going on my list

I am so happy I found this site.

I'm not sure my pouch likes very cold crystal light....it pretty much made that known immediately with weird monster, alien-like sounds!

My surgery was 12 days ago so I am still on protein shakes. Every single time I take that first sip and it hits my brand new baby pouch, the old stomach growls and growls, then it stops. My kids say it reminds them of our obnoxious cat that meows and meows until he's fed. LOL
