It happened

The not snacking is going to be a hard thing for me.  I feel like the no drinking for 30 minutes after eating helps keep me in line though.  I'm afraid I'll eat something (if I were to snack) and that drinking may flu**** out of my pouch before it's ready and then I might dump.  It's probably completely irrational, but it's motivation to stay in line and not snack.   I think that the dr has me on Nexium every day for this first 4 months has helped a long way in preventing stomach sensitivity.  I haven't had anything yet that I consider spicy.  I used to chahoula on my eggs.  I've looked at the bottle in the fridge, but am just not that brave. *LOL*  I've sort of stopped pushing the envelope with the trying new foods.  I took my surgeon literal when he told me what I can and can not have.  Since getting sick, I've started looking at the guidelines some of the other surgeons give.   Today I had a bite of english peas and about 2 oz scallops for one meal and scrambled egg with cheese and 1/2 slice turkey bacon for another.  I couldn't finish all of either meal, but they were both satisfying.  About an hour ago, I had 1/2 a No Sugar added Italian Ice (2g sugar per cup and I only had 1/2 the little cup).   Tomorrow I'm making a split pea soup.   I'm trying to make things I can have, too, for my family.  I like to get to sit down with them.  If my meal looks too different from theirs then my twins (21 months in a few days) won't eat their food.  *LOL* I really feel the cause of the sickness I had was from not chewing well enough or from the dryness of the meat.  Since I've been sticking to stuff that can mush easily I've done much  much better.  

Bless your heart!  Just remember that it is a learning game every single day for the rest of our lives.  But...it's a great learning experience.  I'm glad all is going better. Tonja
