Testing, 1, 2, testing. My Pouch Still works
I was starting to think maybe my pouch didn't work too good. Maybe it kicked the bucket. Maybe it gave out. Maybe I stretched it. Maybe it didn't like me and it was on strike. Maybe I could get my money back from Dr. Houston (yeah you can laugh at that one too! I'm sure he would!!!) Well... I learned that IT STILL WORKS.
I haven't thrown up since 3 mos postop. Until lately. A few weeks ago I got sick... it hurt like a dickens. You know the kind I'm talking about... like someone sitting or standing on you... I had eaten some low carb low sugar Breyers chocolate Carb Smart. I thought maybe I didn't wait long enough after I ate... I hurt so bad I did something out of desperation. I put my entire hand down my throat (I have never been able to force myself to throw up.) Finally a little bit of saliva came up. My tummy hurt. I had to go lay down.
Well at work the other day, I got sick. I threw up. I had not eaten too much... or too fast. It was weird. I still dont know what it was. Then the other night, I ate a light supper, waited for almost 2 hrs and again tried some chocolate Carb Smart in a mini very good for you banana split. Argh! My stomach hurt so bad! This time, I did not force myself to throw up. It sure didn't work last time!! So I sat in the recliner and just rested, tried to relax. Finally it let up.
Today, I had a little bit of breakfast... felt just fine... that was at 9 am. I was busy and thought I'd wait later for lunch... so around 1, I went to the cafeteria. I sat down, ate some chicken breast, and some peas and carrot medley, and my lord it hurt so bad! I sat straight up and leaned back a tad.... hoping to let it pass through. I had to shut my box cause the food started making me nauseous. Again, not too much, nor too fast... I did chew chew chew. ANYWAY... I had to make myself throw it up AGAIN cause it was stuck. Just plain stuck. So whats the deal?
I got my AchievOne and drank it about an hour later for my lunch. Even for supper, I wasn't able to eat very much and got out my Kroger strawberry low carb yogurt, calorie countdown hood fat free milk and made myself a smoothie. I just dont want solid foods right now.
Sounds to me like you have a pi$$ed off pouch. Maybe there's something in the Carb Smart that it doesn't like or just doesn't like right now.
I hope you get over it and it's nothing serious.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
I can't eat the no suagr added ice cream either. It makes me really naseaus for some reason. And I have "tested" several flavors and brands.
. It is all of them. So I gave up eating that. But if you are getting sick a day later and eating regular food, maybe you have a little bug. Sickness does seem to be going around right now. If it keeps happening, you may need to go the docs. I know you had your gallbladder taken out so it can't be that but maybe it could be an ulcer or just a bug or something. Either way, I hope you get to feeling better soon (hopefully before thursday
).
