So very irritated

Could you be taking in too much protein? All the calories count. If you are eating food and taking in too many protein drinks, that might account for some or all of the weight gain. We are all different in what affects our weight loss and or gain. Don't give up, and being hacked off is NORMAL!! We have all been there!

Hi Barbara.. I don't really think i am in getting in to many calories.Because i cant eat.For the past 2 weeks its only been a bite ot two here and there,and they usually come back up.Today is first time i have drank that much protein.104 grams all day.Actually still working on the last 55. And So far about 80 ozs of fluids. But since everything i eat comes up i thought the protein amount would be ok. I know only 30 grams an hour so i am trying to space it out throughout the day.
I went for follow up 6 month appt yesterday and was told no slider foods and to get protein through food with only one protein drink a day.But without the slidder foods like chili,yogurt,cotage cheese and soups i can not eat. Solid food hits my pouch like cement and i throw up. So i really dont know what to do.I need protein and probably should keep it at 80 grams but since i havent been able to eat i have done 104 today.I am swollen so bad i look like a pregnant hop toad,And have gained from 203 tues to 217 today.I understand some water weight but that is insain. The lasix isnt working i have had 40 mg today drank enough to sink the titantic and only peed twice.I am just so very frustrated and very whinny today.
Thank you for responding i appreciate it.
Love Deb

Hi sweetie....

I just got on and saw your post.  Number one, breathe.  You're upset and you have every right to be.  Did you quit smoking yesterday?  I remember that was the plan....

A pound of fat is caused by 3500 calories.  Honestly, do you think you have eaten 49,000 calories since Monday?  And I mean calories above what it takes you to exist.  I don't think so.  I've seen this happen to you before...last time your insides acted up and you couldn't eat you did this same thing...remember?  That was the time you ended up in the hospital.  Looks to me like it is happening all over again.  The unexplained weight gain, the inability to eat....your body is back in starvation mode and I am scared to death for you. 

Please, please call SOMEBODY in the morning and demand some answers.  I know you are getting some tests later in the month but I think you are going to get worse before you can get them done.  There is something wrong and you deserve some answers.  I know you've heard all this before but we are all worried about you.  You are not a failure....because something is definitely wrong.  Love you kiddo and keep us posted.
