eating too much

I am afraid I am eating and drinking too much in an hour. I have not vomited but I hae eating like 1 ounce of jello and then I ate a popscile. Is that too much. I feel full afterwards. Should I be able to eat the entire popscile? Have a already stretched my pouch? Rachel

You can eat an entire popsicle it melts and goes down like water, actually the same for jello. I don't think you stretched your pouch, but keep measuring and do exactly what you were told. I forgot what the instructions were for clear liquids. Is it 2-3 ounces an hour? If so, you probably haven't had too much. Kathy

Hey, I thought the same thing when I was new...asked my doc and here was his answer...really good too. Liquids going in....if you drink or eat them too fast, will back up like a sink, so as long as they go down slowly, forget about ounces and amounts, will go down continually because the opening. When you get to foods like shrimp and chicken, you will not be able to eat but a couple of bites. Liquids you can pour down your throat all day, whether its popsicles, juice, pudding, drinks, you can do that 24/7 and that is actually a good thing for your constipation, so no worries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are not vomiting because you are doing it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deb

PS FORGET ABOUT STRETCHING YOUR POUCH!!! LOL You can't stretch your pouch this early, and even further down the road, its REALLY hard to stretch your pouch, cause you will puke it up before it would stretch, BUT!!! You can stretch it with repeated puking and wretching, so just be careful, and remember, you have to do a lot to get it wrong. All your worries and fears are normal and the same ones we all had. Don't do sodas, and all the other things you were told, but liquids are a good thing girlfriend, so drink up!!! Jello, popsicles, juice, crystal lite, propel...which by the way is the best thing you can do for your electolytes are great!! I used to freeze my propel in the magic bullet, my hubby made slushies using it, and boy that was the BEST!!! I still do it!!!!!!! Take it easy, one day at a time, and in a few weeks, you will be an old pro!! Deb
