ulcers and not losing
i am so frustrated right now.
a few weeks ago i was admitted to the hospital cause i couldnt keep anything down and they found i had a stricture again and 2 ulcers. i can barely eat anything with out it making me so sick to my pouch and then its not worth eatting. i get protein in when i can but i admit its not where its possed to be.my calories r so low is not even funny most days.
and to top off the not feeling well and nausaus im not even losing right now.im so tired of soups and yogurt but its all i can stomach literally!!!... i just wish with all this i was losing some.
thanks for letting me vent--i knew yall would understand.

Sorry to hear you experiencing complications. If you're not getting enough protein and calories, your body has probably gone into starvation mode and is holding on to everything it can. That's likely why you're not losing any weight right now.
Focus on getting healthy first and then refocus on your weight loss.

Sorry you're going through this. Have you had the dilitation performed? Also, taking any medications for the ulcers? I've had the same thing...2 dilitations and an ulcer. The first dilitation was at 6 weeks and the last was the start of March. I was put on prevacid nightly and sucralfate (spelling?) before each 'meal' (i.e. breakfast, lunch, dinner) and at bedtime. It's helped a lot.
You'll start losing again once you can eat. Get the stricture taken care of, talk to the doc about the ulcers first. Start healing from those then worry about the weight coming off afterwards.
