Crazy little pouch!

Do you ever get days where nothing but maybe soup lays good and other days you could eat everything but the kitchen sink? Yesterday eating was no problem but today little "grouchy pouchie" is not having to much of anything....Just thought I'd share...Hugs...Susie

Yes, and even some days soup doesnt work too. ~Debra

I hear ya! For some reason Campbells chicken and stars always makes pouche feel good. That along ith a hot cup of tea. You never can be positive with the pouchie....

Be careful eating those canned soups. Way too much sodium. I make my own soup. ~Debra

I had that today too. It always seems to happen after a day when I ate more than usual. Grouchy pouchie, good word for it. Actually I'm glad it does that now and then so I won't eat too much. I need to keep losing. Nancy C

I never took notice to that but now that you say it I did eat more the day before than I usually do. Boy pouchie really makes you pay for it and I'm kinda glad he does that too. Brings you back to earth real fast!...Susie

yep..same here for me. I also don't dump ever- and have only puked once in a while. But what happens is I get lots of rumbling and grumbling in my stomach and gas that travels back and forth inside of me like a tennis ball in the middle of a Wimbleton match. Then there is that wonderful feeling just as though someone wedged a two-by-four up under my shoulder blade and impaled me front to back. Thats when I know that I have really blown it. The pouch is more than grouchy... its furious!! Seriously though I think it all depends on how much food is still being digested from the day before, how hungry you are the next day. At least thats the way it is for me. Marcy 367/295/160 -72

Gosh Marcy that sounds like torture! I can understand why you would stay away from something that did that to you. I dump but not that bad. My heart goes out to you...Hugs....Susie

I also have a grouchy pouchy. I have never dumped but I have not had ANYTHING with sugar in it since surgery. I also eat no pasta,rice or bread. i will eat occasional stuffing or potatoes but rarely. Some days I get sick on every other meal like yesterday. I finally went to Rubios fresh grill and got a side of pinto beans(not refried) and ate and ounce or two. Today all Ive had is 2 cups of tea with milka nd splenda, my protein drink (@35gms protein), h20 and a starbucks latte with sugar free vanilla and soy milk...plus meds and vitamins. I will try my beans again later with some stemed carrots and see how that goes. The one thing I do eat every night before going to bed is some crackers and that keeps me from being nauseous in the morning. Janette RNY 7-13-04 363/240 -123lbs

I pretty much eat whatever I want just small portions. I'm afraid to try stuff with regular sugar! I figure if I don't know for sure if it's gonna make me dump it's for the better. I mostly eat sugar free stuff and sometimes get the runs from certain ones. The highest I've gone with sugar was 9 grams. I had such a craving for a Krispy Kreme it wasn't even funny but the fear of getting really sick keeps me totally away from it...Take care...Susie
