Vitamins, nausea and liquid diets
Anyway, just venting. I'm doing great and actually ventured into the world of cottage cheese this morning and ate a tablespoon full, and it seems to have helped...

You're doing great! I agree that protein shakes are not the same!! I still have some trouble with calcium citrate if I don't take it with food, or use some of those chewy bites.
As you increase texture in foods, just remember to continue to take it slow, and let your new anatomy get used to the new textures.
Good luck!

I was 99.9% better after the spoonful of cottage cheese, so I think I'll just start doing that a few days early in the a.m. before taking the vitamins. They don't seem to bother me in the evening, only a.m.

Hang in there - sounds like you've got a good plan, In a couple more weeks, things will settle down even nmore and it'll be easier.

I also find ANY vitamin that doesn't have a coating on it irritates my pouch. So I tend to suck it up and chew them (mainly my B vitamin). But - NO GEL CAPS!! Those won't dissolve properly in your pouch and can cause blockage in your intestines (as I was told). Capsules work best for me, if I can't find it in a chewable.
Glad you found cottage cheese helps - this really IS a trial and error thing!

sounds like you are doing great so keep on keeping on. I remember being very ready for each diet phase change. None of them last forever in the grand scheme of things so take it slow and enjoy each one.
