good foods and bad foods
Hi Im on week 4 and trying the new foods that Im on schedule to try and been having problems with fruit and veges. It does not seem to matter what i do chewing them or the way i cut them it just not seem to settle with me.I also still dont drink coffee or hot tea.. they also seem to be a lil off. I stay with ice water and diet snapples.I still cant really handle toast either.Anyone have any suggestions please feel free to tell me what to do..
You'll find that a lot of things don't work, but then someday they suddenly will, then again another day they won't. Most pouches are fussy that way. If something doesn't work- then don't eat it for a while and try it again in a few weeks.
As far as the toast goes, you don't need to be eating carbs this early out anyway......
*oh and I am 7mo out and I still don't eat fruit cuz it has too much sugar (tho natural) for me.

All I can say is keep trying stuff.
It took a really long time before I could handle chicken. I still have issues with some processed food.
Early out, I remember going to Arby's thinking I'd just eat the roast beef off a sandwich and I couldn't swallow more than one bite of what they call meat.
Try beans, hummus, turkey worked for me for some reason, no sugar added applesauce. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking it slow.
Best of luck!

One food makes you larger, and one food makes you small...
I didn't bother much with fruit or veggies until more recently. And even now (nearly six months out), I don't eat them much. I ate sf applesauce at first, and an occasional half apple juice (4 oz), half water, but I really focus (and still do) on the protein. Carbs are easy - they are in LOTS of things, including fruit and veggies. Toast? The only time I bother with it at all is when I'm having a poached egg on a half piece!
The coffee and tea don't add much either, caffeine is hard on your healing pouch! I drink Swiss Miss sf hot cocoa or carnation instant breakfast with milk. (milk has 10 gr protein in 8 oz). It will come - just be patient. Keep trying things and chew and eat slowly. I've had very few problems - but you also have to follow your doctor recommendations. Good luck - - you are on your way!
