Ulcers

I had an endoscopy last week becaue all my food seemed to be getting stuck and it just was coming up right after i ate.  They thought it was a stricture but it ended up being swelling along with 2 ulcers :-(  I am on omeprosol and pepsid and an prescription med that i need to crush.  I am very worried about these .  I am back on puree but sometimes i cant even tolerate that.  Its not even vomiting it's like my tube just gets full and empties.  I still have pain when i eat.  I see my Surgeon tomorrow.  I almost feel like if I complain they may think im over reacting. I have been to the ER 2 times already for IV hydration.  I sip liquids all day but i still seem to get dehydrated.  I had my surgery on 2/15/11 i have lost 22 lbs and am stalled which is ok with me.  but its amazing how you can eat pretty  much nothing and not lose weight. 

Im a little frustrated but not im not regrettng this surgery yet but im getting pretty close to regret.


Thanks all

Deb

Sorry you are feeling poorly.  If don't eat enough protein and drink enough water, it can slow your weight loss.   Hope you feel better soon.
