I had my first appt. with my nutritionist yesterday. Boy was that eduational. I had learned alot on my own but was amazed at what I didn't know such as-- studies have shown that the first 8 weeks after gbs is a crucial time to introduce foods to your new pouch. If its "colicky" with a food the first time, you need to try again a few days later or you may never be able to tolerate that food. And I am glad that I don't care for alcohol. She shared with me that a client had a 4 oz glass of wine at a party, didn't realize what a buzz she had and got a DUI on the way home. Her blood alcohol was over the limit with one glass of wine. I won't bore you with much more but she also said the most common transfer addictions are to alcohol and (this one made my hubby cringe)...shopping. Have a great day everyone.
I take 2 or 3 bites of food now and I am done. Still getting my protein from Shakes. If I have learned one thing its that everyones DR and nut has a different opinion as you will discover from reading the posts here. I lean to the voices to the women and men here that have lived through it and reading online from others that have as well.
Best wishes hun!
