QUESTION FOR THE VETERANS

AT WHAT MOMENT IN YOUR JOURNEY DID YOU START TO FEEL 100% BACK TO NORMAL.. WHAT STAGE WHERE YOU ABLE TO EAT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING OF COURSE WITHIN MODERATION WITHOUT THROWING UP AND FEELING AWFULLL....

Well if normal is how I felt before surgery...I have not felt like that since surgery. I felt good and that things where looking up at 8 weeks, I was finally not sleeping so much. And for eating anything and everything, I still don't do that, and never will. I eat what I feel I won't get sick on, what my body can handle. The only time I feel awful and throw up is when I have made bad food choices, when I had stricture or I eat too fast. Tracey -111

I felt pretty normal at about 3 months and at 6 months I can eat most anything without getting sick. I still can't eat bread, rice is questionable, fruit juices make my stomach burn and if I eat too fast or don't chew enough, I still get sick but it is not nearly as often as before. BUT I would do it all over again in a heart beat to feel like I do today! AMY -141LB.

Yesterday was my three-month anniversary, and this week is the first that I felt what can be described as "normal." Very few vomiting episodes anymore - maybe once a week if I am not careful. I tried corn tonight and that wasn't a good idea. I can eat my dreaded petite quiches , soups, eggs, hash...a lot of things except I don't do steak or chicken yet. I LOVE the frozen meatloaf by Boston Market - I get it at BJs. Yummy, easy to chew and digest. My only "complaint" right now is that I am so tired. But if that's what it takes, I can live with it!

Kristen...more water...and it may be time for B12. I get really really tired and must take a B12 shot every 4-6 weeks. Even after 2 years I still take them and they really help... Don't live tired...talk to your Doc about it... Hugs Charlie
