food rental

Hi all. Yesterday I ate something too quickly...it was just a slice of turkey and a half slice of cheese, but it stuck, apparently. I got sick, my first time...but felt better immediately after. What fun huh? LOL

Denise, Welcome to my world! I throw up at least once a day on average! One day something will work well, and then the next, it hates me. Right now I'm going through a stage where I just HATE all food. I don't want to eat anything! Dangerous I know. I'm so tired of counting grams and trying to get enough, only to throw it back up and have to start all over. But you are right, once I I feel better immediately. Hang in there! HUGS Kimberly

I am at the same stage. I HATE FOOD!!! It has become quite a chore to eat. My doctor required pureeds for 2-3 weeks and then I was aloud to move on to some real food very gradually. I did something dumb and tried to eat a little piece of soft taco. It was stuck for 2 days!! I didn't realize it was stuck. I just woke up the next day and had horrible pain and couldn't eat or drink anything. I didn't throw up so it just sat there. I thought that would be the last time that happened. Yesterday I ate a piece of string cheese. I eat shredded cheese and cheese slices so I thought it would be fine but NO!! It hurt and I thought I would die. Finally I made myself throw up. I felt better until I took a drink of water and realized my stomach was still full! So, I threw up again. I felt better until this morning. Now I feel yucky again. I am afraid to each anything for fear that it might get stuck. You are right, it is dangerous to get this way. I usually drink my Isopure with 40 grams of protein and each a few bites of something 1-2 times a day. I need to work on actually eating more. My nutritionist says I need to eat 6 times a day! This will get better .. right? Shellie

I was surprised how quickly it happened too...but it's just another adjustment to learning how this pouch works...

Go**** so good to hear I am not alone. I have been eating sashimi for dinner because its soft, moist and all protein about two times a week. This week I was traveling for work, and we went to dinner. I had one piece of tuna and I had to run out of the restaurant (in front of business colleagues) back to the hotel. Luckily, they took it well. The worst is sometimes I'll feel sick for an hour or two before I finally throw it up. I've taking to eating only cottage cheese and yogurt at work because I know these foods are safe. I spoke to my cousin and she says to "hang in there' between 3 and 6 months it seems to get a lot better. Until then we just need to keep our chins up-- or down while we !

It's a horrible feeling when you get sick from food. Especially all the time. I've learned the hard way but I avoid all the stuff that makes me sick I won't even try it again to see if I can tolorate it because the foods not worth it. I can't stand to throw up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheri

I am sure it will get better. Mmmmm sashimi...i want some of that now! I will keep my chin down LOL...it's weird to have to, uh, spew at work as we have a bathroom w/ stalls...I was in htere getting sick and someone was using the potty...i felt kind of embarassed.

Hi Denise, I call that 'yakking' and it happens to me sometimes too. I carry a disposable cup with me and keep some at my desk. I have warned the people in offices close-by that if they hear me coughing to ignore it. That's what happens to me ... I cough a few times and then yak it up (oh boy, what a conversation) and then feel better. Jenny (aka Johanna)
