Grouchy Pouchie

Hi October folks, I had surgery on Oct 11th and up until now I have not had any problems. I was on full liquid for 3 weeks, and am now on pureed for 3 weeks. Night before last I pureed some canned roast beef, low-fat etc. It seemed to sit heavy on my tummy but I didn't think anything about it. I had it again for lunch yesterday and have been nauseated ever since. No matter what I eat, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, protein drink, I get nauseated and it feels like at times it is in my faux tummy not my pouchie. Is anyone else experiencing this? It almost feels like my GERD has raised it's ugly head, but I have been taking my Prevacid daily. Anyone else? Any suggestions? TIA Sheryl

Hi Sheryl, I really don't have any ideas of what would help you. But, I think I may be experiencing the same thing, in a way. I have been doing fine, no nausia or vomiting. Then I made a mistake and ate too fast. I got sick, then after that I took it easy and only had liquids for a day. After that I seemed ok, but I can only eat a very little bit and it is heavy on my tummy to where I almost feel like throwing up. I hope we are ok! Have a great day! Amber

I am surprised that you are even eating any beef. My surgeon has recommended NO beef at least for one year. I wonder if that may be the problem.

Hi Sheryl' I am also 4 weeks out and experiencing the same thing. I wake up with an empty stomach and dread taking my meds because I feel sick. It just started a few days ago. I have timed my bites 2-3 minutes apart. I don't drink 15 minutes before eating and wait 1 hour after. NO change. Let me know if you figure it out. I am calling my nutricianist tomorrow to try and get some help.
