weird pouch day
Today was a weird pouch day. We out to eat lunch and nothing tasted good or acted like it was gonna sit well in my pouch. I had very little protein since the meatloaf tasted like crap. I did eat the monzarella cheese off of it. I had a few bites of salad and 5 grape tomatoes as well. Pouch did ok with that. Fiance's mashed potatoes tasted awful as well. So when I got home I decided I would eat some BBQ pork (homemade) like I had eaten the day before without no problem. Well my pouch didnt like it and up it came. SO then I was afraid to eat the rest of the day. I eventually did eat some melted cheese with some marinara sauce and that set well. I also had a yogurt which went well. But my stats were all low for the day, so I was trying to get in some more protein. SO far I have been able to keep down the southwest chicken (which I have been eating the past week without a problem).
On a good note, I have been able to get my fluids in for the day.

Fran, sorry you had an off pouch day. Happens from time to time with some. Go with the flow on what your pouch will and will not accept. Often you will know within moments of something touching your tongue if it is acceptable. Keep doing your best as you have been.

Fran... just a word of caution: Stay mindful of your pouch and its sudden sensativity. If it begins to bother you when taking fluids, go see the wls doc. You are right in the time frame for scar tissue build-up narrowing the stoma to your tummy, so just stay aware. (stricture)
BUT know that many f us have bad pouch days. I have some that are down right crazy still. When this happens, try to remember protein supplements in liquid form may be the best bet.
Hope it was just a bad couple of days and all will be well.
If though, it might happen to be stricture formation, it is a fast easy outpatient fix via scope. And also, not uncommon.
Hugs!
