2m10d post op and no solid foods?
I am 2months 10days post-op and still can not eat any type of meats either fresh or processed. BUT, I can eat all the chips, cookies, ice cream, sweet tea, oj, gatorade,crackers, peanut butter, pickles etc. that I want. I do not have any problems with sugar, no dumping syndrome, no loose bm's, no vomiting. I drink around 150oz. of water per day(I work outside) + 1/2-1gallon of oj per day + 1/2-1gallon of Milos sweet tea per day, plus any other liquid I wish (NO ALCOHAL). But, If I eat even one small bite of any type of meat (no soups either, no broth) no matter how it is cooked it hits like a ton of bricks and I always vomit within 15-30minutes and I usually feel a little "lite headed" for the next 24-48 hours. My blood work is fine and I have lost around 120lbs since 6-2-05 and am having no other type of problems. My wife had GBS on 7-7-05 and has lost 40+ lbs and she is the complete opposite of me as far a diet. She is able to eat meets but NO sugar. Anyone else out there having this "problem". I have been told that everyone is different and that after 4-6months I should be able to eat more things than I do now.
