Not sure what's going on with me!

Good almost-noon on Friday, fellow losers!  I feel yucky today.  You all know I have had complications with my surgery, two strictures, and an ulcer.  I have been feeling amazingly good since my last EGD which will be two weeks ago on Monday.  I saw Dr. Walton on Tuesday, everything seems to be going well.  I had lunch yesterday, got sick after two bites.  I actually thought that was caused by accidentally getting sweetened tea instead of unsweet....didn't know it until I was back at work and had added my sweet & low.  I had dinner last night, it all stayed down fine, I felt ok after eating it.  This morning I woke up feeling like crap.  My tummy seems upset, I had brought some pimento cheese for breakfast yesterday morning, and had some left in the fridge, so I ate about two bites of that, and even water is making me nauseous.  I think  (hope)maybe it is a virus or something, I just don't feel like I did when it was the stricture.  I am so tired of not feeling well.....I just want to get back to my old normal self before surgery and complications.  I think I have thrown up more in the past six weeks than I have in my 41 years!  I'm really not a complainer, and I try not to let anyone know when I don't feel good, but I can't always hide the way I'm feeling now.

Thanks for "listening" to my complaints.  I really do have a good attitude about this surgery, even with the complications.  I wouldn't change a thing, except the being sick part.

Hugs,
Marsha

I am so sorry for the problems, Marsha.  I was sick most of the time for the longest.  I would get the foamies most of the time.  Dr. W was just a little concerned about a stricture, but really didn't want to do anything about it at the time.  I didn't have as much trouble as you.  I finally started taking smaller bites, chewing more, and taking like a minute or so between bites.  Has helped, but still if I get in a hurry, even a little bit, I will definately still get sick.  Usually when I get sick on something, I won't try it again.  Love pimento cheese, but got sick on it, and now it grosses me out just looking at it.  Only thing I am tired of, is eating cold food.  First bite or two is all the warm food I get.  Good luck on this, and prayers of healing are going out to you, Michael

Ok, I am just going to say it.  You can tell if you are having a chewing issue because when it comes back up it will still look like what it was-a piece of chicken or whatever.  If liquid slurry comes up, it's something besides bite size.

So, if you "blow chunks" you are not chewing well enough. 

I have never thrown up chunks of anything, it has always been slimy, icky gross, liquid.  Today I ate extremely slow, and didn't get sick, but do have indigestion.  I'm hoping it has to do with the ulcer and medication will help get me through it.  I really don't need to be gone from work anymore if I can help it. 

hiya hon it gets better atleast i sure hope so for both of our sakes...hang in there the bright side after awhile when you vomit or spit up it is not so bad...joke...i love ya and dont be like me if after awhile if you can not take it call dr. walton heck im on his do not call list..so join me..lol

Stephanie....I may be joining you on that do not call list pretty soon.  I seem to never have to call unless it's on the weekend.  Grrr!  I hate that!   I know it will get better for the both of us soon.  The thing is as soon as I go in and have the procedure, I feel so much betther, then in a few days I start feeling like heck again.  I hate that!

Hugs,
Marsha

SO SORRY FOR ALL THE TROUBLES YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING. IT HAS GOT TO GET BETTER FOR YOU, I INSIST!!
