??? for earl

this really has nothing to do with bodybuilding...but i know i can get a good response from you. i know you just had the stricture thing taken care of and was wondering did you feel better eating food soon after? im worse now 2 days later then before i had the scope done. water even bothers me. i called doc and he told me to stay on liquids and call back in am and let them know...i was wondering how soon you could eat normal( well for us) again. the thing that does bother me the most is that im so sick i cant work out and that is my fav thing to do...i miss it and am worried ill have to start back at the bottom again if i cant get back in the gym..i tried to go but couldnt get out the house.. its awful... thanks for any info you have tanya

Of course you know I am gonna pipe in on this one. Mother hen and nurse that I am. Tanya, you should have immediate relief from the scope. By that I mean, pureed and softs for first day and softs, etc. Progressing should be easy. You need to call your doc back and insist that you are worse. I would just go into your ED and tell them what is going on. Hydration is important. Keep sipping on your clear liquids but don't let this go on. If you were my patient, I would tell you to come back in. But, I am not an MD so I can't diagnose, but when something is wrong, you need to be assessed physically. Take care. Feel better. We will be thinking and praying for you. I will, in the spirit of exercise, will work out for you tonight. So, let me know if I overdo it and you get sore. Keep up posted on your condition. Val

thanks so much val and earl... i am finally feeling a little better today(saturday) i am able to eat right again and get my water down. the doc thinks i irratated my pouch when i threw up the other nite. i seemed to have caught a small chest cold at the same time, but that is a lil better now too. now just to get myself back to the gym, it has been a week now, i cant believe how much i missed it but i knew i had to get better. going to start back monday yipee!!! thaks again for the info and concern..u guys are great tanya
