When?

okay...I am 4 weeks out...when will I ever feel "good"? I feel good compared to what my body has been through, but honestly I felt better the very first week out. I am sick to my stomach constantly...mildly so, but enough to make me borderline miserable. I get hot very easily when I am moving around. My energy level spikes and plummets, but I think that is natural. I can pace myself, but with the nausea I really am having trouble going about life as usual. I find I am just better off staying with my protein drinks and soup as opposed to trying to eat anything else. On a positive note, I am not depressed by this, but very frustrated! Any suggestions?

When I was a month or two out I felt the same way. Dr.Curry had me come in for a upper GI and I had a stricture. He was right down in the xray room with me. He then took me to the OR and I had a fixer upper/ A stretch and I was so much better. It is really no big deal and only takes a minute. They give you happy drugs so it was very simple. Dont worry and please call your doctor tomorrow. If that is what it is you will have relief right away. I swear,its easy and painless,Good luck and please let me know.Love Cindy

Hi Liz, I sometimes feel like this happens. I am not saying that you can't have a problem. You know how bad it is. I think also sometimes it is our body changing. It changes dramatically in the first few months. Are you getting the water and protein in that you should be? It can also be food withdrawels LOL. I will tell you this I have been having my hot and cold flashes whew. GOod Luck, Richard

Yup, like they said call the doc. It may be as simple as needing Protonix(what I was Prescribed) to help settle your stomach. It will get better so just hang in there. Darla
