Has anyone else noticed their pouch having good days and bad days? I am 5 weeks post op- some days my mushies go down so easy, and some days its like eating rocks! Does these good days and bad days even out- or will the pouch always have its ups and downs?

Hi Mandi!!
Yes it is very common to have a grouchy pouch. You will have your good days and you will have your bad days. Generally, it does get better as time goes on. I am 1.5 years out and have normal days, but there are those occosinal days that my pouch will be grouchy.
Generally if you are able to identify the food that aggrevates the pouch stay away from it for a time period then try it again. I could eat steak fo about a year. Still can not handle broccli.

I never have heard the term "grouchy pouch"- I love it! Dinner time seems to be the worst! Dinner, no matter what it is, sits like rocks in my pouch. I use the Papaya enzyme when necessary, but I have almost given up on dinner altogether!!

I dinner is a problem, maybe go with something that is lighter. Also, are you still measuring? Could you be eating to much?
Typical we eat the denser protiens during dinner. Maybe go with something lighter. THey usually say to eat a light meal for dinner when people "diet". But it doesn't mean it has to be less healthier. You could have like a Greek Yogurt (typically has 16-20gram of protien) Add some sweatner and flax seed or fruit in it. It is also very filling but it is not heavy. KWIM??

I was getting sick after 1 or 2 well chewed up bites.:o(I have started eating much lighter at dinner!! Sometimes I am doing a Carnation instant breakfast (no sugar added w/ skim). Its hard, because I wanna eat a dinner with my family, but running to get sick wasn't working!! I am going to try the Greek yogurt! Thank you!!
