OWEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

hi all, I just got back from having my JP drain removed. I was expecting a little discomfort........it felt like a giant snake with hooks for scales being pulled across my stoma*****h by inch!!!!!! I let out the biggest scream...........I'm just glad i didnt curse Anyways........I've lost 16 pounds since the surgery. And was progressed to pureed. Now the monumental task of 64 oz water,50 grams protein,6 vitamins and minerals,1 actigall capsule, 1 nexium capsule, and 16 oz skim milk..................all into this tiny little grouchy pouch! Take care all willby

Those JP drains are horrible when they take it out! I'm glad you have it behind you now and can move on to purees though. Enjoy! GREAT job on the weight loss! HUGS, Vi

Vi, Arent they just the worst? I went to the store and bought some soup. Its all still a bit overwhelming on what you can/cant have, can/cant/do....but I guess soon enough it will be second nature. Take care and Good Luck with your journey willby

OUCH! I have no idea what a JP drain is but it sounds bad..! I'm glas it's out!!!! Well I wish my problem was not being able to know how to eat food, instead of not eating anything!!! I can't take it anymore

celia((((big hungry hug)))))) Girl! you better be glad you dont know what a JP tube is! I almost didnt post about being advanced to the pureed stage cuz I was thinking about you. If it makes it any easier I'm still hungry! 2 tablespoons of pureed might be enough for my little skinny pouch.......BUT IT AINT ENOUGH FOR MY BIG FAT BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! I HONESTLY didnt know the head hunger would be this intense. I can only hope what everyone says is true and it DOES GET BETTER!!! willbystarvedtodeathsoon

You know, Ben and Jerry's used to be my best friend and all chocolate...but since my surgery nothing sounds good any more....I have sugar free pudding that is chocolate and I dont like it.....The only thing I am cravin' is breadsticks and marinara sauce!!!!! I havnt eaten it in months but thats all i can think of.....WIERD????? But no other cravings (except my water that I still cant seem to get enough of)
