hey Rie Rie, i was surprised you said gravy, does it not hurt your tummy? or is it not regular gravy? I used to love gravy but am afraid it will make me sick, can u tolerate milk? I am afraid to try milk too, just thought I would ask, cause like I used to couldnt handle tuna , but I tried it today and I could do it, and I was like whoohoo! Just wanted to ask, have a great Day! Hugs, Peggy

So far I have found nothing that makes me dump --- and I do mean nothing, yes I have tested the waters. I dont eat a lot of sugar foods, but have had a few bites of cake, ice cream, and puddings. And it doesnt do a thing to me. I can drink milk, but I dont like the flavor of it anymore. I used to drink a gallon in two or three days by myself. now millk goes bad in the fridge. Gravey does not bother me but I only put like a tablespoon on a egg. seems to be fine. I can eat anything it seems like. Meat seems to be my favorite and is good in protein. I did make the mistake of making a milkshake and drank about a half a cup. yuk!!!! way to much air in ice cream. My stomach stayed upset for about two hours then everything was fine. I really have to watch what I eat, cause nothing seems to bother me. I also can drink sweet tea with sugar. no effect either. Yeah I know I shouldnt be trying these foods, but my propel has sugar in it so I thought what the heck. I have cut my meals to three a day, because I am eating more and my calories was going up. Sometimes I eat a snack if my protein is down. Some people say I am so lucky that I can eat anything. I dont know where the luck is. It is almost getting as if I have never had surgery. I sometimes wonder if my surgeon left my stomach to big. But I am still losing. so far anyway. well bye love marie

Denise, welcome to loserville, as far as the rock yes you have to remember you have basically put liquid type food in your pouch it will take a bit to adjust just keep trying maybe you need to start with really really soft food I dont know what you are eating bu****ermelon, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, try things like that and see if that works for you then try adding some solid meats......hope it helps as for the 3rd and 4th I am on my 4th and I really have just started soft food and I seem to do ok somethings I can handle and some not chicken i like but is very hard for me to digest right now,pasta is still hard too it just seems to feel me up after one shell lol so just keep trying it does get better and it is all a learning curve for the first 3-6 mo as we try to introduce new things to our pouch hugs and love lisa

I've had that little pressure feeling but it goes away quick. I think it has to do with the stoma's size?

Hey Rie Wow I wish I could eat 4 oz of anything at one meal, my pouch is only an ounce. breakfast- 3 spoon fulls of cottage cheese lunch- some fruit salad snack- 100 calorie snack pack dinner- 2 crackers with low fat cream cheese spread snack- popsicle
