Just ate 2.5 oz tuna and it's sitting in my pouch like a brick. Maybe I didn't chew it enough? Yuck.

I think tuna is just heavy on the pouch. But it keeps me fuller longer.

I added slenda to my sugar free carnaition. I can drink this all day lol

I'm not doing great with cold liquids. I can do My puréed food fine but the shakes and cold water gurgles all the way down, and I'm just doing little sips slowly. It takes me two hours to get a cold protein shake down. What has been working for me is warm liquids. I have been mixing my chocolate protein powder in decaf coffee under 140 degrees though or else it clumps. i have been drinking warm decaf green tea instead of water. For a while I was doing the unjury chicken soup protein powder warm but then I realized it is full of sodium, like 750 per cup so I am trying not to do that as often. It's so weird I used to love to guzzle ice cold water but it just doesn't work for me now even sipping at a snails pace.

Ate it twice and that happened to me. :( Today I did chicken (in a can) salad, and it was so good. No problems with that.

And I'm the extreme opposite! I can't get my water cold enough!!

Been a good day eating and drinking wise today, but I have a monster headache! It's one of those headaches where you can't open your eyes. I have been taking my liquid percocet and it hasn't helped.

Yea ive tried quite a few u

The chicken wasnt bad but still out of work so cant afford it. The xarniation and 1% milk ia about 20 gramsish plua the food protein i eat

That's why my doctor prescribe me some because he said he does not want to take the change that's why I said to call your doctor because your pouch is still healing

Yeah, my doctor gave me enough nausea meds to last for months! I used them a couple of times, since certain food smells were overwhelming when I first came home.

I haven't gone # 2 since my surgery on the 29th is that normal? Sorry for TMI!

It's weird, especially if you're used to going regularly. It took me 5days, and then it was in the evening. I felt so much better afterwards, but I never felt like I had to go. My nurses said it was normal, sometimes even 5-7 days for some people.

Officially on my first stall. I knew it would come' date=' so I'm not bummed. I'll just wait it out.
