Guest guest Posted December 15, 1999 Report Share Posted December 15, 1999 Okay...first of all thanks to everyone who has given me some kind encouragment with this vomiting issue... My problem here is that everyone is telling me that it is the food that is making me sick and I agree to a POINT. As I said in my post...I TOLERATED the pizza just fine the night before. I did not eat or drink b-4 or after for at least a 1/2 hr. The next day I made a mistake by eating the pizza and drinking MILK at the same time. That is when I got sick. Again...I tolerated the tortillos with salsa the night b-4 and the next day when I tried them with CHEESE DIP I got sick again...Here I am getting blasted for WHAT I am eating and no one is looking at the fact that some of the food has NOT bothered me...I have seen a pattern here in the fact that it is the dairy products that are bothering me. I know what Dr Rutledges manuel says...I have read it over and over again. It also says that days 10-14 are the puree stage and that some people choose to move a little more quickly from this to the reg foods. I had not been sick one TIME until the day that I had that slice of cheese! Cheese is not forbidden and I ate it one day ahead of the 10 day mark! I guess I was upset enough already and when I got some of these responses I felt like I was a little child being punished! I sat here and cried AGAIN and became even more depressed. Maybe you all are stronger than me I don't know. All I know is that everyone focused in on the pizza and did not pay attention to the fact that I tolerated It the night b-4 with NO problems what so ever. I just want you all to know that I LOVE this group dearly, but I am really hurt right now. I thought I was doing what was RIGHT FOR ME! That was adding some food with some substance b/c I literally felt like I would fall over somewhere. I guess I screwed up. Maybe this was not the thing for me. Maybe I am just too weak. Who knows. >From: Lambscape1@... >Reply-To: MiniGastricBypassonelist >To: MiniGastricBypassonelist >Subject: throwing up >Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 02:20:22 EST > >From: Lambscape1@... > >Hi , >I hope your are taking everyone's advice about the foods you are to be >eating >at such an early stage.
