My answers: Is anyone still on restrictions from their surgeon/nutritionist? I am not cleared to try raw veggies or regular bread [as opposed to toast or crackers] until Wednesday. I am not allowed to have alcohol at all the first year. I am not allowed to have carbonation, bagels, sugar, or pizza. Are there certain foods that you've found irritate your pouch? Surprisingly, I can't think of any. Do you/have you thrown up? One time after leftover fish, one time came close, again after leftovers. Do you/have you dumped? No, have not tried anything with sugar in it. How much protein shakes do you get in [protein grams in how much fluid?]? I have one shake in the morning that is 46g of protein, in 12 ounces of fluid. The rest of my protein [100+ grams] I get from food &/or and additional Stallone pudding. How much fluids do you get in daily? 60-70 ounces the past week. Any food you've found to be your [new] favorite? I really enjoy cheese [always have] and I really enjoy my '****tail' of 4oz grapefruit juice+8oz lite orange juice+12 ounces of water over ice. xosm

1) I'm still on liquids/soft because of my stricture 2) Anything solid 3) Anytime I eat solid 4) Never, and I tried some sugar, just to know what the feeling would be. 5) 2-3 shakes @ 20-35 grams each & 6-8oz fluid each 6) I go through a gallon of crystal lite, my shakes, and broth or pureed liquidy soup, as my fluids, everyday, so a lot. 7) red flesh papaya 8) I'll be happy when my stricture is dialated on the 17th.

Is anyone still on restrictions from their surgeon/nutritionist? *I was just told NO corn, rice, and bread for the first 3 months. Are there certain foods that you've found irritate your pouch? *Chicken-my pouch doesn't like it much and I think I know why-- I named my pouch Camila after Gonzo's pet chicken. Chickens don't eat chickens...jk I still eat it anyway because sometimes it sits well. Do you/have you thrown up? *Yes twice. Once because I irritated my pouch with chicken & tuna and the second time I ate too fast (I was trying to sit down and have dinner with my parents). Do you/have you dump? *No, thank goodness!! How much protein shakes do you get in [protein grams in how much fluid? *I'm off the shakes and switched to protein bars. The Slim Fast High Protein chocolate chip granola are the best! 15g of protein in each bar. How much fluids do you get in daily? *Not enough. I'm always short on my intake. I think I must drink between 34-40oz a day-it's always a struggle for me. Any food you've found to be your [new] favorite? *Protein bars, nuts, and beef jerky. Elisa

1. No restrictions 2. Fried, greasy foods such as fried chicken even with the skin off....it gave me a sharp pain in my pouch do I don't eat friend anything except an occassional french fry which doesn't hurt my pouch. 3. I'm thrown up 3 times....it was my fault because I ate too fast and it hurt so bad I had to get rid of it. 4. Never dumped...and I hope I never do (fingers crossed) 5. I try to get in 2 protein drinks a day (35g each for 11oz) 6. 2-3 16oz bottles of water or Propel (my new favorite drink) I need to double my water intake but I'm having a hard time getting in this amount. 7. Orville Redebocker (sp?) smart pop mini bags....I can eat the whole bag in about 30mins....there's 3g of protein and 100cal for the whole bag. I also have a stick of cheese with it...that's another 5g of protein....I love this snack! Sylvia
