Evening all

I had to abandon my dinner tonight. It was the same as I had last night - a chicken stew that was more like soup. I had two small bites and that was it. It started to feel stuck. Then I thought the whole lot was going to come up. Had to walk around a lot and it helped ease it. Just had my evening medication and it was a job to get it down. I feel really stressed with things and I think that it might be the cause - but I am now worrying about getting on to solids again.

Intake

Actimel
3 cups of black coffee with splenda sweeteners
Chicken soup
small portion of soft cheese
Chicken stew - abandoned

Exercise - 2 mile bike ride

Well done the bike ride TB!

Just take things really slow with the food if you are stressed, could you blend the stew a bit more to help get it down?

Try not to worry about the next stage, it does sound like you have good restriction though. The first few mouthfulls are key as to whether you can eat the meal, slow small mouthfulls, chewed over and over then swallow slowly too.

You will be fine x

I have posted a new thread about what happened when I tried to eat today. It is stress related I hope.

Actimel
1 cup of black coffee with sweeteners
a little water not much
egg mayo which did not stay in my system
a little more water

Mr TB and I did a two mile walk today - we went to the nearest shopping area to my sister's house - did not realise how far it was - we usually go in the car. We did have a stop on the way back as Mr TB who has some problems with his mobility now was very tired. We ended up in a pub sitting in the beer garden with the rain coming down (luckily it was a covered area) so he could have a pint and a ciggie. I had a little water. We are both pooped tonight.

Well I do not know what I did but I obviously did not press the right button for the thread I started. I was sick after eating something today and was wondering if it was stress related or my band is too tight. I am thinking it is stress but I shall be keeping an eye on things and giving pouchy a break from mushies as it obviously is not liking it at the moment.

TB

IMHO it could be stress or 'maybe' eating too quickly as you haven't eaten proper food for so long?

When you have good restriction you have to go soooooo slow. So slow infact that hot food always goes cold and you get nice and full after a small amount. The first few mouthfulls are the important ones.

Stick with it but take it easy x

 

[tranquil_butterfly]

Thanks Mazza. I am still in the mushies stage so it could be stress. That extra 3 ml is amazing in terms of restriction. Having had another sicky episode this morning I am going to now eat tiny amounts spread through the day and see how that goes. Having said that I am just having liquids for now as I am very sore. I will take on board what you say about not eating too fast and going slow. I think that will help a lot. Now I can see how with the right restriction you really can only manage tiny amounts compared to before.
