Dear Pouchie Poo: May 13/2015

Dear Pouchie Poo:
Before I decided to "minimize" you I was able to eat anything I wanted, when I wanted and in as large a quantity as I wanted. I am not asking you to allow this but some consideration would be greatly appreciated.
As you should be very aware of; I am allowed to eat lots of protein. You know that I am a carnivore from way back so this should not be a problem. So why must you be so fussy?
That yummy roast beef and gravy was good enough for you last night so why can't you tolerate it for breakfast today? I really wanted that for breakfast. I'm tired of yogurt and oatmeal.
You are not being fair. Please be more considerate in the future.
Thanks for trying to help me get skinny.
Your humble minion-Chris
2 things to consider:
1. Even now, 7 years post op, i can eat much more later during the day. And some foods are "no go " early, but OK later...in evening.
2. Some people have problem with leftovers. Reheating change texture. Most of the time ~ i need to reheat meats on a stove...in little bit of liquid. Microwave makes most meat really tough. My poch tolerates food reheated in microwave now..but not all of them.

My pouch's name is Matilda.
Matilda doesn't like very much solid food in the morning. She likes to be a real ***** about it, too.
Matilda also doesn't like cucumbers. Not at 1 month out, not at 6 months out and even now, at 15 months out. Matilda likes to hurl them across the room -- projectile style. Once she even did it in front of my fussy boss at a dinner party. That was especially appreciated.
Matilda has a very sick sense of humor.

Lol... My pouch name is Betty... She now does not tolerate anything but warm liquids in the mornings. Even protein shakes are no go.
And Betty hates carrots. Specially raw carrots. More than one small bite, and it will get stuck. It does not matter if i chew it, shred it. With or without other veggies. I gave up on raw carrots couple of years ago. I can eat a couple of cooked baby carrots - more than 2....and it is all coming up.

Nice to meet you Matilda! lol. Pouchie Poo seems ok with cucumbers for now. I cannot imagine projectile vomiting at a dinner party. I'd have crawled under the table right quick. I've had things go bad 2 hours after eating something. My drive home from work is an hour long and once my dear Pouchie Poo decided that it was not liking the chicken I brought for supper. Did you know that the handles on plastic grocery bags can hang on your ears? It makes it pretty convenient to toss your cookies while driving...
Lol, I will let Matlida know to remind me to bring plastic bags with handles if my boss ever danes to eat with me again...
I was called exorcist girl for months after Matlida's debacle. Did I mention that it happened in the middle of my boss' award acceptance speech?
Matilda does not like cucumbers. As my husband always says, "Cukes make puke."
I love him anyhow.
