Caran:
I too was not given a specific diet to follow and was told to introduce foods as tolerated. Even though you're hungry, please, please, please take the time to let your pouch heal. There are so many people out here who can give you advice on what to eat and for how long. All I can remember about that point is with no specific direction, I threw up a lot for the first 6 months. Not a happy begining. One thing to remember as your start to introduce solids is chew, chew chew. That was my problem, I've always eatten very fast and therefore didn't chew my foods enough which caused clogging and vomitting. Remember the opening going in is about the size of an M&M. Not very big. When I started with solids, I found that if I used a blender and chopped chicken breast pieces, not pureed, but fine chopped, I had a much better time eatting it. I hope you can get a more specific diet to follow instead of the trial and error method. Wishing you the best.
Sharon
