Stomach troubles
I read these posts every day and I don't see that anyone talks about ulcers and/or other tummy troubles. I had my surgery on 12/16 and I have had a lot of problems - feelings of indigestion, etc. I found out two weeks ago that I have an ulcer (I suspected that from the way I feel). I'm taking medicine for that so hopefully that will clear up, but it makes eating enough difficult. I do drink protein drinks and am getting enough protein (I think). I also have recently had an episode of diverticulitis and was in the hospital for 4 days on IV antibiotics. I am having a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks to see how that's going. I may have to have a colon resecton surgery, but I sure hope not. They say it's nothing to do with the surgery and that's good. I do have a lot of problems with feelings of constipation. Was wondering if any of you have this problem. I am taking Benefiber and also Phillips Milk of Magnesia on a pretty regular basis.
Anyway, I know I went on but I would like to know if there are stomach troubles among us 4-monthers.

No real problems. I have started putting one teaspoon of Benefiber in my morning protien shake. I was used to going every morning. When I didn't it bothered my brain more than it did me. Now I am back to every morning and there is hardly anything there. Just a brain thang. Oh we are such a group. We can talk about ANYTHING
