What is wrong with my pouch?

Hi Sue, I gave up..I am a slave to the pouch. Whatever it lets me do, I do it. I am not going to stress out anymore over this. I get in what I can and the days I I just go with it. The last place I want to be is in a hospital ...Beleive me I am getting my liquids in. Its the protein I worry about. Thanks for sharing! Denise

Denise, So sorry you feel so awful. I would definitly call the doc to see what he/she suggests. Keep up posted of your progress. You are in my thoughts. --Marianne

Thanks Marianne, I go back to the surgeon on 9/22. Meanwhile, I just go with the flow. I am tired of fighting my pouch! I see you are a new post op- Hope all is going well with you! Take Care and thanks for the concern! Denise

Denise, I would insist that you see your doctor now. I hd surgerry 8/17/04 and can eat everything now. I had a bout of nausea day six, but it's importnat you eat more foods. Your body will think you are starving it a shut down your metabolism. How much weight have you lost to date?

Denise I'm so sorry to hear about your problems. I've been recently having a very similar thing. I'm 3 weeks post-op and the first two weeks were fine. This last week when I tried a few soft foods they gave me problems. I can't keep it down. I've had a problem 4 days out of the 7. I guess I need to call my doctor too. This isn't fun. I've lost 30 lbs! That part is great, but is that normal? I am really having trouble drinking the protein drinks. The shakes are so thick that I feel full all day. I'm eating about 2 oz. of soup and 2 crackers and feel full for 2 hours afterwards. If I drink water I'm running to the bathroom! Anyway, hope you find out what's going on with your pouch! I'll keep you in my prayers. Pat
