Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Hey gal.. My granddaughter also has double Delta 508......just had her first time in hospital (since birth ) & it wasn't CF ...Her appendix burst. She is VERY well . In college. Runs cross country . a student (even still in college. soooooooooooo look at that " tomorrow . The lights are on & shinning brightly.....Oh, ERIN is also 6 ft tall....................She has 2 younger siblings too . no CF LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEV Kristi Kristi wrote > For that whole week of waiting I kept > telling myself he wasn't going to have it.

Anyway, Kristi, I just want you to know that just because your baby has D508, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will be sicker. My daughter Sian (pronounced " Sharn " ) has 2xD508. She has never been hospitalised with respiratory illness, has never been on IVs, has been in hospital 3 times in her life (once for diagnosis and twice for bowel blockage). Why is this? I don't have an answer. But, hang in there. You will have your baby, and he will be the most beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous, talented baby on the planet. (At least, unless he stands next to my children!)

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Sonja, I only drink about 48 ounces of fluid a day. I have apple juice with breakfast and then I have diet soda or instant tea after that. Water causes an upset stomach.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 No, it still takes quite a while for the pouch to empty. There are times I have to go the bathroom during dinner times so that I can continue to eat my meal. Patty Spakoski Open RNY 2-25-99 Boston, MA Dr. Forse 267/145/225 Help!!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 http://www.sabariatric.com/diet_keys.html Don't drink liquids with meals, and don't drink for at least two hours after your meal. Liquids taken after a meal will wash the food out of the pouch, releasing the tension on the walls of the pouch, and losing the feeling of satiety. In other words, consumption of liquids (with a mature pouch/tool) may be followed by a feeling of emptiness or hunger. Note that soup is a particularly poor food choice, because it is just like drinking with your meal. The liquefied food will pass quickly through the pouch, which allows more calories to be consumed and leaves the pouch empty. Note also that this part of the plan is not appropriate to begin practicing in the first three months or so after gastric bypass - in the early period after surgery it is enough of a struggle to get in adequate liquid (and hunger is not a huge challenge) that it is appropriate to begin drinking liquids about 30 minutes after you eat. -- Re: kristi No, it still takes quite a while for the pouch to empty.
