It's my turn!

Well, I finally decided to call my surgeon's office about how often I and with what types of foods... They said it could be a stricture or an ulcer and I have to come in for a scope... I am waiting on them to call me back with a date and time.... From other posts so far I see this is not too uncommon, so I am joining the ranks of "possible stricture".... I just want to keep my food down for more than one day.... I will keep you all posted on what is going on... Shawn M.

Sorry that you are having problems. Keep us posted.

Thanks.... My appointment for my scope is the same day as my 3 month check-up.... Feb 14, Valentines day.... not much romance in what I will be doing that day... LOL.... I will update more after my appointments... Shawn M.

Ugh! You have to wait until February 14th? Were they not concerned that you might have a stricture? Hang in there -- somehow I missed this before.... sorry. Donna

Yes they are concerned that it is either a stricture or an ulcer, so they have me back on pepcid and told me to only eat "safe" foods that I knew would not upset my pouch... I wish I could have gotten in sooner, although with it being a little over an hour drive each way, it works out good that I can get both appointments in on the same day. I will manage... hey I have managed this long right ?!?! Shawn M.

Hi Shawn, I seem to throw up all the time as well, and it can be days at a time, and no matter what food it is....I find that cheese and yogurt are my sure fires....yeah!! I will keep you in my prayers that you dont have to go through anymore than just the scope and maybe your stomach is just taking longer than normal to get used to food intake again... lets keep our fingers crossed. Good luck and keep us posted, ok? Jan

Thanks Jan.... It is mostly solid foods... I don't have a problem with the soft stuff. I have been having this problem since around the time I could advance to solid foods... I get this horrible pain after only 2 or 3 bites then I hope whatever the cause, it clears up soon. I just want to chew my food again..... Well, thanks again... Shawn M.

Shawn, Good luck to you. And you look awesome!!!!! Karen

Thanks Karen! Shawn M.

Hope they figure out what it is! *hugs* Love the new picture, by the way. Donna
