Question Is it just us two????

Hi Guys,

My Gal Trina from the forum and myself have real problems eating solids.I am almost two years out and Trina is about 7 months out(correct me if I am wrong T-Dog)When we eat our pouches just flat out hurt thus causing us to avoid solids and rely on liquid nutrition.We both turn to protien drinks/shakes just to keep something in our pouches.We chew,chew,chew...eat so slow the food becomes cold and this is on the third bite.

I can't speak for Trina but my labs were good except my Iron was extremly low and untill I can eat meat looks like I am in for a loooonnngggg road to normal Iron levels.

So I guess on my end..I am jealous maybe even hold some resentfulness because I have been told,"It will get better,give it time"

I am so over the liquid life,I know Trina shares my frustration...Good thing we've got each other.

So any long term post-ops been there and it did get better?

BTW~I have no Galbladder problems,no ulcers,was just dialated for a stricture end of December.

Any suggestions~

Van
