Im sorry to hear you had a little set back but glad you´re feeling better now. Lily is doing better today. She was in a lot of pain yesterday and she was ¨starving¨ so the surgeon actually let her start food last night which I was skeptical about since it had been less than 48 hours. And instead of eating something bland as I suggested, she insisted on mac and cheese and then snuck some of her sisters french fries. I can´t follow her around forever so I feel she´s gotta learn on her own what she should eat. She had quite a bit of pain for awhile afterwards, not sure if it´s what she ate or just that she ate. Dr said that´s normal. The food stayed in her for about 7 hours which I was happy about since with her ostomy everything came out soon after she ate.  She had 7 stools in the last 12 hours since she ate. They are going to give her imodium today. They are actually talking about letting her out later today but I think I´ll have her stay until tomorrow.

 

I hope you continue to get better and that you get to eat something soon. Go slowly which i´m sure you know, Lily ate too much I think. It´ll be trial and error but she´ll get there and so will you!  Take care.

 

I'm starting on full liquids today little nervous waiting on oatmeal and yogurt and cup of coffee doubt i eat it all I'm hoping it all goes well i get to go home tomorrow miss my girls they won't come up cause last time my 14 year old got c diff then she was in another hospital not fun for my wife or anyone i have 2 friends w pouchs and they say they can not eat french fries sweet potato fries they can though all trial by error though good luck

Marybeth, I feel your,pain!  My son listens to nothing I say regarding food!  she will,figure out soon enough that stuff is going to make her sick.  Something my son is FINALLY understanding, lots of tiny meals.  Eat something every 3-4 hours.  Before my son lost is large intestine, he was almost 300 lbs., about 100 over weight.  The doctors even made him lose weight before they would do his surgery.   Long story short, while he had is ostomy and even after his take down in Sept. Would eat in huge quantities, and then not eat for 2 days because he was in so much pain.  And this cycle went on for Three months.  We are now having some serious issues and he has been onTPN since the New Year, so food is no longer an issue, at least until next Thursday!
