Just when I think I've made progress

I must admit, I have finally gotten tired of dealing with my picky pouch.  I've had an entire week of nothing but bad stomach aches, and I'm once again at the point where I can't tolerate anything except Unjury Chicken Soup protein powder (the fact that it has no lactose or sugar alcohols, yet contains a bit of salt makes it very easy to tolerate).  Even chewable vitamins are a problem again.  The choices for someone who is lactose intolerant and can't take sugar alcohols or acidic flavors are mighty slim.

And before everyone jumps on my doc, my doc has checked my gall bladder, looked for a stricture, and ulcers.   I'm also on very high doses of PPIs to keep the stomach acid down.

Hopefully I'll feel better next week, and will be more upbeat.

Eliza,
I am sorry you are having problems.  It is so strange how WLS can affect different people in different ways and how we all tolerate things differently.

Does your doctor think that after time this will get better for you?  I sure hope so.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the kind thoughts.  Like most things in life, it is a roller coaster, and on average, it is getting better.  It was just a very bad week.

Eliza...Sending healing hugs your way!!!  Hope things get better for you!!!

Thanks for the thoughts!

 Big hugs and prayers going out to you!

Hugs, 

Liz

I am so sorry you are dealing with this.  I was sone of the lucky ones who breezed through the recovery and I listen to you guys who have problems and feel so blessed. I had a cast iron tummy beofrre and still do.  I hope you get better soon.  I like the unjury chicken soup but wouldn't want to live on it.

You mentioned something that is amazing.  I used to have this iron stomach.  I had reflux, but it was independent to what I ate, and I never felt this pain from it, just a chronic cough.  I'm glad that the chronic cough and esophageal spasms are gone!.

So sorry you aren't feeling well!!!!!!
