OUCHIE POUCHIE!!!!
Ok, so you all probably know how bad an ouchie pouchie feels, but this is my first time...and might I add, it sucks! I don't know how this happened...nothing I have eaten was new. I have
three times, but it still won't make it feel better. I have had only 20oz of water today andmaybe 20 grams of protein.....
Any ideas how to make this crap stop?!?!?!?
Thanks for letting me whine......



I saw if all else fails, go back to liquids for a while... I hear it's a good cure for
and
.


Hi Jeanne - I too have an ouchie or pickie pouchie! I went in on April 3 and had an upper GI and Dr. Glass did not find a stricture but found my opening to be tight so he stretched it. I was good for a few days and ended up going back to not being able to eat or drink and athrowing up. So I sent back to Dr. Glass on April 17. I am scheduled for another upper GI on Wednesday. I don't know what he will find. Maybe just another tight stomach opening. I asked him how many times he will go back in for a "peek". He said that his record is 4 times in 2 months. That is one record that I don't want to break. Granted I have lost 80 pounds in less than 4 months but I really don't want to loose it like this. It is definitely no fun and I can relate. I hope we both find cures.................Take care - Lynn
