I e-mailed my Nut and phoned my doctor yesterday. After the problems I was having keeping soft food down I have been put back on liquid proteins for the next 5 days.
I was rather upset with this idea, but after 3 meals of liquids I realize how miserable I was on foods. My pouch is much happier, I'm able to get my water in. I was so busy being sick and letting pouchy calm down I wasn't getting the water in.
What a difference. Now I realize how crappy I really felt.
Here's to letting my pouch rest for a while until it's really ready for the next food stage.

I am SOOO glad you contacted your nut and doc and are feeling better now!  Your pouch is still very tender and young and needs that TLC.  Get those fluids in.........more solid stuff will come later as you heal more!     Hope you keep feeling better!!!!!!

I know just how crappy you felt - been there done that. It still amazes me how differently they treat people there - they had me stay on the foods and just deal with it, for months.
