Manda, this surgery has such a HUGE learning curve. That's for sure. You need to find what works for you but I do feel it is important to push yourself a bit. It has to be especially hard for you since a lot of things make you throw up. Thankfully I didn't have much of that. I did a little but usually it was just a gut ache. I felt like I swallowed a bunch of rocks.

It's hard.....it really is...but your pouch is a muscle and it does need to be exercised. If all you take is liquids, the liquids just kind of go pretty much right threw your pouch and it doesn't work it much.

Hang in there lovely lady. Just keep slowly trying things. When you find some things that work for you, stick with it for awhile. I pretty much ate the same breakfast and lunch forever and would just change up supper a bit. But breakfast was always really hard for me, lunch was a wee bit better and supper went the best, though not great.

Like I've mentioned. I honestly felt more like sending the plate flying against the walls, but I didn't think the family would appreciate that. *L* So instead the dogs learned to camp out at my feet, because they always got some food.
