not again

So, I'd moved to full liquids last Friday and I've been doing ok. Got over my wound infection and finally got off the IV. I was starting to get into the rhythm of getting my liquids in and then, come Wednesday, I started to get some pain in my stomach. At first I thought it was nothing but, the pain increased and now no matter what I drink, my stomach hurts. Even swallowing my saliva at time hurts. I called Guelph and they are pretty good at responding and are always available. They were able to  get a hold of the surgeon pretty quick. He advised me to return to clear liquids and prescribed me some prevacid and to call back Monday if nothing changes. So far I have taken two doses today as prescribed but, I still feel a lot of pain. I just hope I don't have a complication or an ulcer as I don't want to go back into surgery. Maybe my pouch is still swollen or something and I have barely drank 3 cups of liquid today. It's driving me nuts that I'm not progressing as fast as I had hoped for. Hope this all goes away soon as they told me to go to emerg if it persists. *sigh*.

thanks

I am so sorry to hear that you are having a rough go of it. I hope you feel better soon.

thanks, hope so too.

It's been a few days is the prevacid working?  Are you feeling any better?

Thanks for your concern, unfortunately not much change. It hurts when i sleep, drink, sit up. Now that I'm hungry, it hurts more as well. I'm trying to hold out another day and see if three days of prevacid will kick in. If not, the doc said to come in on Monday. I'll keep you posted.
