Trouble with protein

Hi, I had my surgery 11-3-06. I am doing well in the weight as I am down 120 lbs total. But I still am having a lot of pain when I try to eat protein. Egg, lamb, chicken,tuna. And the protein shakes of whey or soy come right back up. I am living on crackers and cheese. cheese is ok. I also am eating squash-cant eat potato or bread. this is really weird. I cant go to my surgeon, dont ask. Am I the only one with this problem? I am finally starting to feel weak. I take double the liquid vitimins. B12 too. But I cant do calcium tablets-they come right back up. I am perplexed. I dont regret the surgery-no way but I need some help/advise. dj

I'm one month and a week out. I can't eat chicken or bread either. I throw it up

DJ If you can't go to your surgeon, find another doc that will do follow-up for you. At nearly a year out you should be able to eat a pretty wide variety of protein. It sounds like something you need to talk about with a doctor and/or nutritionist or dietician. Vickie J.

ok ... im going to ask... why cant you go to your dr? if not this dr you NEED to go another one... this is NOT ok... sounds like something is malfuntcioning... i dont mean to sound harsh... but if your feeling weak... you have already waited way to long me

DIanne - I agree with Alex - I had my surgery on 11/30/05 - I am assuming you have a typo in your message. While I had 4 strictures, I am finally able to eat just about anything - AS LONG AS I TAKE SMALL BITES, EAT SLOWLY and DO NOT DRINK FOR 30 MINS after eating. Chicken, Bread and raw veggies still pose a problem so I don't have them. The fact that you're bring up WHEY drinks is proof that there is a MAJOR problem with your pouch. Nearly a year out and I'm down 186lbs weighing in @ 162lbs. I have to ask as well....WHY can't you go to the dr who performed this surgery. He/she knows best what is happening to you. Please seek professional help. Don't let your body get to a weaken state where you'll be in a state of desperation. Praying for your speedy recovery. Barbi
