Re: Re: miso

[Guest guest]

thanx for the great information on your post, Marjory.

It is very very helpful, and makes perfect sense.

We are soooo lucky to have all you post-op's around to help us thru this.

Didn't Dr. R have the greatest idea coming up with this web site?

Thanx again, and best wishes,

Trudy

Re: miso

Hi Jenn, Don't Stockpile to much food, because your taste buds change

after surgery. By the time I got home to Ca I could not have one more

mouthful of chicken broth, didn't like V8 anymore, but liked spicy V8

and Snappy Tom, couldn't tolerate the fruit juices because of my

blood surar levels, and I craved tomato soup which I normally don't

eat. You will feel well enough to go to the store when you get

home.The first week or so we sometimes have a kind of metalic taste

in our mouth from the Carafate, because the doc says it has aluminum

in it, so things don't taste the same. I lived mostly on light nonfat

yogurt and carnation sugar free instant breakfast with nonfat lactaid

free milk. Gatoraid was helpful but only liked a few flavors, I don't

know if everyone has had the same experience with thier taste buds

being out of wack, but I sure did, and still do, I hope it is just

the Carafate. I am still on it because after going a whole month

without nausea, I started getting it after I stopped the Carafate and

the Previcid at one month, so I am trying another month on the meds.

I guess I could have said this in one sentence, only buy enough food

for a day or two and then play it by ear or should I say mouth.

Your Almost There
