OH MAN I FEEL AWFUL!

We went to the zoo yesterday and we didn't bring anything to eat. I am ok to start pureed now so I have been doing things pretty slowly. I've had baked potatoes and cheese and some other stuff. But the pickins are slim at the zoo. I had to order SOMETHING as I hadn't eaten anything so I got cheese fries. I figured, cheese:ok, potatoes: ok Cheese Fries:ok? right? Well, I don't know what I did. I ate too much or it was just poor quality food. SOMETHING. I felt like CRAP. Not dumping just a yucky feeling. We were on the motor coach thing and I said to my husband, "I HAVE TO GET OFF" I thought I was going to puke. So we get off and I go in the bathroom. NOTHING. I felt awful but I could NOT throw up to save my life. I have never wanted to throw up so bad in my entire life. I have spent all my years trying NOT to throw up so forcing myself to throw up was NOT easy. And my body did NOT want to cooperate. So I didn't eat anything the remainder of the day. I had water and was feeling ok. I think I ate a chicken nugget. I went to bed. I felt fine. I was downing the water because I hadn't had enough all day. I woke up this morning and I was ok. So I go to make breakfast and I ate a LITTLE bit and started that nasty feeling again. Again with the wanting to throw up. Again with the can't throw up. It was just awful. OH...and I'm constipated. If I go ONE day without getting enough water...the fun factory comes to a screaching hault. So I don't know if it's my stomach is upset from that or if it's something is stuck. I just feel like I swear....I'm gonna stay on liquids for my entire life. LOL I'm going back to refried beans but not until TOMORROW!

Besides it being bad quality food from the zoo,,,it is majorily deep fried and that will upset almost anybody's pouch. Just do liquids and soups for a day or two. You'll feel better soon. Tricia

Ain't that the truth! YUCK! There should be a law! LOL

I dumped 2 times on steak with in the past week and i will tell you what i can not throw up anything that comes up is liquid and its hard then heck to force yourself one thing i have to say is stay away from fried foods they will make you very ill hang in there

Hey Melissa! sorry to read you were feeling bad ... i have to tell you, though, i frequently develop a similar feeling ... often when i eat too fast ... or eat too much ... like they've said ... liquids for the next 24-36 hours helps ... Hope you're all better now!! Nancy

so sorry to hear about your experience! that always sucks to be stuck somewhere without decent food choices. If this was at brookfield zoo tho, next time head down to where the penguins are and there is a geat restaurant called bocadito's. They have a ham, cheese and egg salad with a citrus vinagrette dressing on the side. I get it everytime we go to the zoo. downstairs there is also a salad bar style cafteria. hang in there and hopefully your tummy (and lower down) will start being nicer to you. Colleen

Hey chickadee Hope this Tuesday morning finds you feeling MUCH better! I am wearing a dress, a real dress, for the first time today ... this is the dress that I wore to my 8th grade graduation FOURTEEN YEARS AGO lolololol. Eat well Cathy

When I am constipated I eat Krispy Kreme donut. Some people who have had lap gall bladder surgery can dump but for me to dump it has to be REALLY REALLY sweet and KK donuts do the trick LOL of course if you eat one you will dump in a major way but then that ends the constipation LOL Debby

You are OH SO HELPFUL! I was feeling good taking in water this morning but just as soon as I had something more solid I'm feeling nasty again. It's back to liquids. I hope I didn't really mess something up. UGH!

I cannot handle french fries even at 14 months post-op. Mashed potatoes and baked potatoes are fine.
