No More Tubes and I Can Eat
Apr 19, 2009
Hi All,Well today my Dr. Took out my G Tube. He left in it a few days after my endoscope ( dilation) to ensure I could tolerate food. Now I know that many may condem me for the foods I have ate thus far, but I was only testing the waters to see what I could tolerate. I know that I have to lead a healthier life in order for this sugery to work. So far I have been able to eat 1 and a half chicken nugget from Wendy's, MCDonalds, and Chik Fil a. Also I can tolerate the bar b q and sweet and tangy sauces and a few fries. I have had meat loaf, mashed potatoes, Wendy's chilli, mac n cheese, stif fry chicken and onions, eggs, grits, and sauage. I am documenting this for my own personal reasons so I can look back on this. I think the worse thing I have eaten was a rib, yes I was able to eat a whole bar b que rib. I am not sure how I have done this and have not gotten sick one time. I also had a lemonade from chik fil a, so I can tolerate some sugar. My doc told me I have to wait another week before I can try veggies, so It's going to be yogurt ,protein shake, and lots of baked chicken this week until then. I also bought a treadmil today so I can get my exercise on.
Also, I went out to dinner at Piccadilly for the first time today and even though my baked chicken looked almost untouched, I enjoyed my meal with my mom and I didn't feel deprived. I am so happy I had this surgery and i look forward to obtaining my goal.
