Well today is my 2 month post op and I am not doing much better. I have to go in tomorrow to chicago for a check up. The nurse said depending on my blood work depends on what happens. I don't eat and getting fluids is nearly impossible. not because I don't want too, I actually am so hungry, but it all gives me problems. I get so frustrated and I feel I have failed, I know someday I will be healthy again but until then what does a person do? I am sick of pureed foods they make me sick to look at them. My medication has such a bad after taste that water even tastes nasty, and it makes me ill. I thought that by now I would be bounced back and enjoying my new life. I have come to the point where I hate to go into the grocery store as all the foods make me mad! It looks good, but I know I can't have a juicy salad, or if I have anything else it has to be pureed and that just ruins it all for me. Maybe I am having my own pitty party and if so I am sorry..... I just am at my witts end. I am also sick of hospitals and doctors visits and everything to do with it. Well thanks for letting me vent I needed it.

I feel so bad for you. Gosh that must suck to have to be on mush for so long. I wish there was something I could do for you.

Maybe tomorrow the doctor will take you off of mush and onto real food.

Just hang in there Suz! I can tell it is hard for you but eventually it will work out (I know that doesn't help much now) Just keep posting and we will help you look on the sunny side, or the clouds golden lining, or somewhere over the rainbow... sorry got carried away!

Huggs,

What are you trying to eat at this point? Have you tried refried beans....that is what I lived on and just a few bites did it for me. I hope you get some help from your doctor. You have been through enough already.

I will be praying for you!!

Gosh you have been through the ringer and back! I am so sorry to hear that you are still having difficulties. My thoughts are with you for a recovery soon!

watergirl · 06-22-2005, 08:02 AM

JEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ! So, sorry to hear that you have this to deal with also. I wish you a speedy remedy! You've got to eat. Refried beans, like Dale said, are a great source of protein and did set fine with me. Maybe you could give them a try.

Ah Suezq, I'm sorry you're still feeling so badly. I hope your doctor can help you figure out what's wrong, and what will work for you. I'm praying for you and for a speedy recovery!

Hi Suez...I too had a check up yesterday with another Dr. He determined that I had another stricture. I am so angry as well. Yes, I am loosing loads of weight but at the cost of having daily pain. I feel mostly uncomfortable. So I had another endoscopy. This time I was dialated to 12mm. I hope I don't have to go back. I feel so very weak. Just walking or standing for more than 15 minutes makes me want to go lay down. Dr. Clark is refusing to extend my disability anymore...frankly what am I supposed to do? I feel sick all the time like nauseated. I tried eating a soft scrambled egg ...two bites...that is all I could take. It's been an hour and half and still feel like the egg is stuck in my pouch. I am just so so so so so frustrated. I think I have tried every kind of protein drink. That seems to get stuck as well. It's weird. DAmned it I am just so angry that I am 11 weeks post op and still going through this b.s.
