My surgeon approved me to eat all foods except meats this past Monday. He said that we're allowed pasta, so I decided to have a couple of bites. That was 10:30pm yesterday. Almost instantly I started feeling pukey. I stopped eating (after about 5 bites). I took a phenergan (anti-nausea drug) to hopefully stop it in time but didn't work. I started puking about 11pm and it lasted for 3 1/2 hours. OMG it was horrible. I wish to never go through that again. I finally got to sleep about 4.

Lesson learned - no more mac & cheese. It's evil.

Please spay and neuter your pets!

Every opinion we share, every favor we perform, every moment we intently listen to someone talk about themselves is our opportunity to pass along something positive to a person who needs us.

I haven't tried rice or pasta and have no intention of ever trying either one....I hear too many horror stories!

Hope you are better now.

I have had a little pasta but I never want to go back to mac & cheese.. its empty calories, carbs, and no protein. I don't want to go back to rice either.. same deal. The pasta i had was home made mac n cheese made with cottage cheese & cheese.. so it did have some protein in it. But I could only eat a few bites and it just tasted greasy and I sat there thinking why am I even eating this? I didn't feel that great after eating it either..

Alot of people can tolerate pasta and rice, but nutritionally its a big waste of space for us...

Also a note on getting the pukes from food... most of the time if you get the pukes from food, anti-nausea drugs are probably not going to help... its a physical reaction to eating the wrong food, or too fast, etc etc etc... It's just going to happen. Ya it sucks (blows literally ha ha!) but at the same time I don't try to stop it because my pouch is doing what its supposed to do, so I just let it do its thing. I usually have to wait an hour or so before I try drinking anything after I have the pukes
