thanks for the thoughts/prayers.  There are no trends I can come up with outside of the comon theme that the pain is brought on by eating or drinking.  Temperature/texture/time of day/type of food/meds/no meds/vitamins/no vitamins/speed of eating have all been ruled out as causes.  
Also ruled out gas as a cause.  Just perplexing.  Hopefully these Dr.s will come up with something.  

Just really frustrated tonight.
Thanks for the support ladies!

Thanks Cynthia - it really took me a long time to reach out and let everyone know what was going on... I feel a sense of humbleness about it because it's really hard to admit you are struggling with something that so many people think should be easy... if they only knew.

It definitely does get harder but we'll all get through it I'm sure.

See you soon!

 Well I went to Dr. Pohls office and saw Jeremy for my 6 mos follow-up and  post op appointment from the surgery I had two weeks ago in hopes of finding the source of the pain I have been having for two months now.  Well lets just say that I am a bit frustrated as post op we have no answers and now I am going to see yet another Dr.    Jeremy/Dr. Pohl think I should check in with a Gastroenterologist now that they are out of options to see if there is anything further they can come up with.  If not they can consider taking out my gallbladder even though no test points to that being a problem.  I just had surgery two weeks ago and we discussed this and it was not the recommendation two weeks ago so why bring it up now.....ARRRRRR

I am feeling frustrated as this pain is not fun to live with and I feel it is holding me back to some extent.  I just feel rotten all the time, when I am not in pain I feel so discouraged to the point that looking in the mirror last night i was really questioning was this all worth it,  

To top it off I am low on protein so need to work on that some more.  Blood work said I need more protein.  I am just feeling sick of this process, I know it is my frustration fueling how I feelm just need to work past it.  It is just hard to do when you know that the first thing you eat/drink is going to start the pain all over each day. 

Upside I am still losing albeit somewhat slower than I would like.  and I am going to make the appointment and see where this takes me.  As "sick" as I was as a morbid obese person I have never gone for so many appointments.  Guess I was lucky.  
Also going to get back to work next week so that I will have less time to think about myself and how I am feeling and focus on something more productive.  

Thanks for listening to my rant everyone!

Cynthia

 Glad your process has gone smoothly!  Good luck with Surgery and keep in touch and let us know how you are doing!

 Thank you for sharing where you are at.  I have een so concerned about you and had been hoping that all was well and that you were just caught up in living life.  I feel your pain, that is my biggest concern in this whole process ...falling off track and not being successful.  I think you are doing the right things though and reaching out, utilizing the support network and getting back to the basics.  I can only imagine what it must be like at 2 years out since I already have those day's where I just want to "live normally"  Fortunate for me I still have the RNY working for me an objecting to certain foods which really helps to curb those urges and makes me think twice.  I can imagine it would be a whole lot easier to make mistakes if I did not have that constant threat of illness from my trigger foods.  

I applaud your efforts to put yourself out there and get on track for yourself.  I look forward to seeing you next week.  Hang in and PM me if there is anything I can do for you!  You have been a great source of support for me as well so let me know if I can return the favor.
