hunger pains and cravings

I am a little more than 3 mo out.  I never had hunger or cravings until about a week ago.  I am very worried about this because it might cause me to mess up my eating.  Also my ulcer has been bothering me again because food is giving me trouble again.  It took a long time to be able to eat because I had a stricture and later an ulcer.  I am not making good choices.  How do you motivate yourself to start getting your protein, vitamins, meds, meals, exercise, etc again?  I have been off everything.  I even started drinking diet soda again and can't stop.  What happens if you drink carbination again?  Is this the cause of the hunger and cravings I now feel?  I am having trouble eating too.  I don't know if I am eating enough, too much or the right things.  I see the dietician in 3 weeks,

Hi Jimi

 I am sorry you are struggling right now... I wish I had some great advice for you, but I am struggling too...:(  and I'm only 8 days out... I guess we just need to keep trying... never thought I'd be the one it didn't work for....

Wow, reading your post I would have thought I wrote it for the most part.  I have had 2 strictures and am now dealing with an ulcer.  I know I am not getting in my calories and protein like I should.  Even just liquids, I am barely getting in 16 oz on a daily basis.  I am just to pooped to exercise, I work full time, come home and take a quick 30  minute nap before finishing up for the day.  I would give anything to be able to drink a diet coke.  I have tried on several occasions and I can just feel it bubbling up inside.   When I try to eat, it burns so I just dont.  I have no desire to eat anything and  never feel hungry but I worry because I know I am not getting what I need.  I will be 4 months out Friday so things may change.  What do they have you doing for the ulcer?  Is it working?  So far nothing is working here.
