Food Question

Hi everyone! I woke up with my stomach (pouch?) hurting and a little nausea. Ran a tiny bit of fever this afternoon. Justed wanted to list what I ate yesterday and today and see if anyone has any comments about any of it. I'm trying to figure out what might have done it. BTW, I felt great yesterday. My stomach hurt this a.m. and tonight. It was tender the rest of the day. I just didn't feel my best today. Should have layed around all day, but had to grocery shop and do laundry, etc. Anyway, thanks for any advice. I'm glad days like today are few. Yesterday: Water - 4 glasses (I know- not enough) 8:30 am - 1/2 can Atkins Protein Drink 11 am - KFC Mashed Potatoes w/o gravy 3:30 pm - same 5:45 pm - SF Popsicle 8:30 pm - 1/2 can Atkins Protein Drink Took all meds Today: Water - 4 glasses 9:30 am - Popsicle 12 n - KFC Mashed Potatoes w/o gravy 2:30 pm - same 5 pm - Tried to drink Atkins Protein Drink - couldn't 6 pm - Popsicle 7 pm - Broth from Progresso Chicken Pot Pie Soup Wasn't able to take many meds today. Hope everyone is doing good. Sending love to those who are struggling, especially Tammy. Thanks for the address, Arlies. I'm going to send her a card tomorrow. Good night, everyone!

With being so close to your surgery you need to watch that fever. Was it over 100? It is not considered fever if it is not at least that or above. No me I run a low temp all the time so it is different---if I have 100 then I have 2 degrees of fever. Anyway fever always signals something is not right. Call the nurse if you no other symptoms like throat or sinuses. It could be viral if you start getting a cold. Your menu looks good. Nothing really harmful seeming that could cause pain. Make sure you are not constipated too. Just a few thoughts. Get better soon. Let us hear later on today. Jane

Hi Jane, The fever was just 99.5. I'm better today, thank God. My stomach hasn't been perfect, but has been so much better. I guess I'm just going to have days like this. I'm still trying to learn and sort all this out to make sure i'm doing ok. Thanks for your concern. Deborah

The only thing I see that might be a problem is the broth from the soup may have been too rich for your tummy. And sometimes, my meds make my tummy hurt for a little while..... You are doing great! Smoochies Arlies

Deborah, Everything looked pretty good to me.Actually you are eating like the exact same things I need. I also used Dr King. You are doing great on your weight loss. For about a month I would feel nausated at time but I really don't remember my pouch ever hurting. I'm like Arlies that soup may have been just a little too rich. I'm glad your feeling better. Are you coming to the Bash.. Becky

Hi Becky, Thanks for the response. I have discovered if I eat/taste some things (like spaghetti sauce - I licked the spoon), it makes me hurt. I'm just having to learn what I can and cannot eat. No, I'm not coming to the bash. Really wish I could, but I don't feel like going anywhere that far yet. Have to wait until my stomach is more settled. I hate I'm not going to get to meet everyone! Maybe we can have a get together in the spring sometime in a central location, like Jackson or something. I'm going to the support meeting in Oxford in Nov. Hope to meet some people there. Will definitely plan on being at the bash next year!! See ya! Got to go to bed! Deborah
