Need help, cant do this.

I have to agree with everyone else and what they are saying,You had your surgery a few days before me and I know exactly what you are going through. I am having a hard time also getting my liquids and my protein in, Heck I have forgotten my vitamins many times.
The only way I can eat or drink anything is to have a big cup of hot decaf tea, make it here at home. I force it in while it is still warm because as soon as it turns cold my stomach rejects it. I still cant tolerate water,cryatal light or even low cal gatorade. The only things I can drink is warm tea and small amounts of warm propel. Yesterday I was so proud of myself. I got in 2 big coffee cups full of tea and about an additional 12 oz of propel. I am also eating popsicles ( yes I know seems contradictory but I can get them in, kinda odd) and after I had my tea, I can get in jello.
I am working on my protein slowly, it will take time to get to where I need. I would call your doc you may be dehydrated and it can cause all kinds of issues. Hang in there, hopefully for both of us it will get alot better. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Does your Dr have you on an acid reducer/reflux medicine like Prevacid?  To this day if I don't take mine, my pouch hurts... its also to help prevent the formation of ulcers.  If not - ask him for it. 

(((HUGS))) to you - you've had a lot of great advice from the others.  Just relax, breathe and take it easy.  I like the idea of a plan - that way its not so overwhelming.  I know there are a lot of things to do and remember right now - and I do remember feeling overwhelmed myself at this point.  Just do the best you can and it WILL all come together for you.  Trust me...

Please call your surgeon and discuss this with them.  It could be something very easily corrected such as needed an acid medicine.

I didn't do the protein drinks for a couple of months, I love them now.  Can you tolerate milk?  I used double milk, 8 ozs of milk with non-fat dry milk added to it and drank this 3 times a day for protein and fluids.  I would also add the Diet Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate to it for a change and a hot treat.

Try to relax, I know when I am stressed my pouch does not do well with food of any kind.  Please keep us posted.
