need a bit of advice

ok heres the thing I eat maybe 2 or 3 bites of something and I feel overly stuffed and start getting pains. So I usually only eat 2 or three bites. But heres the real kicker Im not loosing anything. I do know Im not getting enough protein in so I have started uping my protein drinks again. I'm not dumping this is really a pain in my pouch when I eat anything even going back to soups and such. So any advice would help. Thanks Kristina

Call the doctor ASAP could be a number of things...don't second guess

Hi Kristina, Shay is right, definitely call the doc. Looking at your surgery date you are prime time for a possible stricture. Liquids will continue to run through pretty much but eventually it can tighten up and even they will cause a problem. More than likely the reason you aren't losing any weight is because you aren't taking in enough calories. remember your body is a furnace and a cold furnace with no fuel ( food ) won't burn. If it is something like a stricture, they can fix you right up with a scope. I hear it's instant relief. Several here have dealt with them, maybe someone will post their experience. Feel better soon!

Hi Kristina - I agree with the others, call the Dr's -- could be an ulcer? That's how I felt with mine. Hope you are feeling better soon! ((hugs)) Carla

Thank you all for the advice and phone calls I will be calling the Dr. first thing Monday morning. Guess I just needed that little push and agreement to call the Dr. I just feel like I dont want to bother them if its really nothing, but then again how do you know its really nothing unless you bother them. thanks again Kristina

Kristina, This definately warrants a phone call to the docs. They really are here to help us. Please call first thing Monday. Please let me know if you need anything. Good Luck! Best wishes, Deb

Hi Kristina, I agree about calling the docs. But also, is your pureed liquidfied enough? and be sure to take very small bites at a time. A lot of us used baby spoons to help us gauge the amounts. Call the doc and I hope all is okay. T

Could be a stricture or ulcer or anything. Hoping you have called the office by now and looking forward to an update. I've been wondering about you. Dianne
