Day 3 of 5DPT.... and my EGD
I'm not going to be doing Day 4. I had an EGD today and decided to be easy on my pouch, so I had some lentil soup that Tom made yesterday that was awesome - packed with veggies, ham, tomatoes... I figured it would be gentle on my pouch. I'll have a protein drink later too.
I did ask the Dr to see what the size of my stoma and pouch was. He said the pouch would be difficult but he could get an estimate, and he said it would be easier with the stoma. He said my stoma was about 1/2".... does that sound big to you? I can't remember anything else he said, and Tom had no clue what he was talking about or what it meant. Kinda ticked as I really wanted to know what he saw. Now I have to wait for the report and next visit. All I do remember is him saying something looked good.... hate the anesthesia fog!!!
I have been having a lot of pouch irritation, some pain, nausea - just "not feeling good" feelings, a lump in my throat and I'm constantly clearing my throat. Finally had enough of it and went to the Dr.
Guess we'll see.

I guess I didn't realize the pouch test does away with protein drinks after the first few days. I would have a very hard time with than.

He put me on Carafate three times a day which binds with the bile and as long as I take it I have no problem. forgot to take it last night and woke up at midnight refluxing bile,I took it and 30 min later was able to go back to sleep.
Could this be your solution?

Hope they figure out what is causing your problems Jody. When DH had his endoscope, they gave us a printout that had what he found on it before we left that day. He has a follow up appt next Wednesday where they will go over everything.
I have no idea what size our stoma should be. 1/2" doesn't sound very big to me, but I don't know.
