Help me please

* Please excuse any typos I am very tired and a little high from vicodin* I am having some problems and need some advice. In the past few weeks I have been exncing pain in my pouch area and around to my shoulder and back whenever I try to eat certain foods or take certain meds. The part that has me concerned is that I have been eating these things since I was allowed food and the meds are the ones I was sent home on. I took 2 vicodin about 9:00 tonight because I overdid it working out at the fitness center. I am now having this pain. I broke the pills in half and drank water when I took them. I am able to to drink as long as it is room temp water or hot tea. The juice that I have drank since the surgery causes me this same pain. I talked to the doc about this on wednesday and they feel that I am dumping. Why would I dump all of a sudden on foods that I tolorated all along? My juice is mixed 1/4 juice and 3/4 water. Even my protien is making me have this pain. I don't want to eat anymore and I know this is really bad for me. I need some ideas here. I am really desprete. I did do soft foods for 2 days and had the same reaction to eggs, cottage cheese and soups. What else can I do? Amy LAP RNY 08-05-03 / -60 pounds

Amy, I know doc is in the office in Boone today as I have an appointment with him this afternoon. I would call and make them see you. I can't believe what you are experiencing is normal or just dumping - although it is possible that you've simply overdone it in the gym and maybe pulled some muscles in your abdomen - but it's much better to be safe than sorry. It might be something more serious so it's a good idea to make them see you, even if you've got to wait. Let us know okay? - Deb W.

please get yourself to the doctor. we are not doctors here and this sounds serious to me. mary jo

OK. I think I probably have a touch of the flu today. I have stopped throwing up and now have the body ache and lethergy. The nurse feels that I am dumping and that I may have irritated "picky pouchie". I am gonna lay low today and eat only pureed foods and see if that helps. My hubby had to go to Minneapolis today and won't be home until around 10 tonight. With having all the kids by myself I can't get down to Boone very easily. Thank you for the responses. Amy

Make sure you keep us updated Amy, I am really worried for you. I hope that it's nothing serious and that you start to feel better soon. I have never had anything like this happen to me, but hoepfully it is just a touch of the flu or else an adverse reaction to the pain meds... I did take darvocet after my tummy tuck and would dump afterwards once in a while... maybe that is it? Take care hon. Julie

This isn't normal??? I've been doing this on & off since surgery & saw my MD today & he said it's just me & my pouch getting to know each other. I've kept nothing down for 4 out of the last 5 days, no wander I've lost 35lbs in 5 weeks.
