I had surgery Dec 3rd and was doing somewhat fine until week three when I was able to introduce "foods" back into my routine. Ever since the first meal I tried to eat, I cant keep it down. The foamies visit, I wrench my tummy almost before I can leave the table, etc. So right now I am living off of protein bars at 110 calories, Vit water or Crystal Light, and maybe 1 sm packet of instant oatmeal if I am lucky. Refried beans stay down sometimes...protein shakes and I arent so friendly right now although I am going to do my best to work them back in tomorrow. I am not sure I can do this much longer. The feeling of the sickies is hard too tolerate. I am so beside myself and am not sure what to do. I see my Dr on Tuesday and have called. The Dr told me to just eat soft foods and soups again till I see him. As I write this, I am so sick and running back and forth to get rid of everything. Who'd know that eating so little would make me pray to the porcelain god so frequently. What is killing me is working 12-14 hrs or more a day and having very little to sustain on. I do not get hungry really but know my bpody needs nourishment. Even though it is only 5 weeks tomorrow and I am down about 60 pounds, anytime I eat or have to eat something, I regret the surgery. Is there anything I can do to try to feel better and get more protein in and not spit up anything that tou8ches my lips? I am at my wits end and feel like I am alone in this....
