(This is taken from my profile) The hell only gets worse. Today I kept down breakfast which was some strawberries and lunch which was some grits and bacon with cheese.. Then all hell broke loose. I took the kids to the beach and got really light headed so we headed home after about 90 minutes. The minute I walk in the door I start to heave. The only thing on my stomach at that point was water. After tossing my water till I thought I would die it finally settled. SO I waited a while and tried some Orange Juice. Same thing about 10 minutes and I was running to the bathroom. This process went on for about 4 hours. Finally about 7 pm I decided (why I don't know) to try food. BIG MISTAKE!!!! I got about 3 bites of steak down and I got so violently ill that I pulled a stomach muscle and a groin muscle. Every since then every thing I eat or drink comes back. I can't even get my meds in. The doc says coat them with honey and they will stay down.. Nope even that does not work. So about 9 pm I call him and he tells me to go to bed with a heating pad and try to sleep. Before I go to bed he wants me to take an Ativan to see if it will settle the tummy.. No go. It won't go down. So I lay down and napped a little till about midnight and then got up. Finally got the ativan down and it is helping some. I am about ready to give up. This has been an ongoing battle for me since my surgery. The whole story is on my profile. I am so tired of fighting this battle that all I do is cry. I am scheduled to go to the hospital on Monday to be scoped to see if there is an ulcer in my new pouch. Right now I feel like it is an alien. I have named it Oscar the Grouch because it likes nothing.. I am down 50 pounds but with that comes 3 hospital stays and too many ER visits to count. Hubby keeps telling me it will get fixed and all will be ok. But not sure how much longer I can keep this up, I feel like I am going Suggestions or just hugs and support are welcome. Thanks for letting me whine and vent, Hugs, Kat

No suggestions, sorry, but will give you ((((((HUGGGSSS)))))) and support. I'm sorry you're having so many problems, but it sounds like you're keeping in close contact with your doc which is the best thing you can do. Kudos to your husband for being so supportive, too! Becky

I wish I had some words of wisdom, Kat, but I don't. Please know that I am praying for you to get better soon. I'm glad you're getting scoped beacuse you might have a stricture. Anyway, here's an extra big hug! - Tracy

Thank You Tracy, They think it is an ulcer or a staple line disruption. Right now a stricture sounds good compared to those two. Hugs, kat

It has to get better. Plese let us know when it does. I've been thinking about you since I read your post. It stinks that you feel the way that you do now, but I'm hopeful that there is an end in sight. Best, Dina

Kat, Big time hugs to you, gal. I wish I knew what to tell you that would help but your doctor has to get you all fixed up. Hopefully the scope on Monday will let the doctor see what is wrong and get you treated and on the way to recovery. Please try to keep yourself hydrated as best you can. Hugs to you, Kathy
