I gagged it down. At $4+ a bottle I was disappointed. If I could chug it cold it would be okay but one sip at a time it took two hours to drink a bottle.

I had part of a hamburger mashed up with cheese and ketchup sans bun.

Had my upper GI study this morning. If I ever have to do one again, it'll be too soon. Preliminary findings are I have a narrowing below my pouch. I guess this is stomal stenosis? The doctor who did the test didn't really elaborate. Said he would get the report to my doctor. Now the waiting game, and worrying I'll have to have surgery to fix it.

Had a scrambled egg with cheddar cheese for breakfast, a turkey meatball with tomato sauce and provolone cheese for lunch, and a few ounces of twice baked potato for dinner.

Isn't it awesome!?!? My coworkers keep commenting on how they can really see it even in my face.

I haven't been sick in three days. Everything I have tried has sat well. Maybe I'm finally turning the corner. Thank God!!!

Since when? Don't weigh every day. Weight always goes up and down throughout the day.

My doctor said 145. I am saying 150 but honestly can't even picture myself at that. I've not been under 170 since I was like 15.

Chili and some mashed potatoes for me.

Couldn't agree more.

Well since they can't promptly get me in for an endoscopy, they're going to try to get me in for an Upper GI on Monday. Gag. At least it'll let me know if there's something wrong.

Well I called to make the appointment for the scope - they won't do it as long as I'm on blood thinners and don't have an open appointment until July. I told them I'd call my surgeon and call then back. I feel so defeated right now. I just want to cry.

I'm two weeks out and having the same type of issue and they want to scope me next week. Funny how every doctor is different.

Scrambled egg with some low fat Mexican blend cheese!

When will I have energy again? I start yawning by dinner time which is a problem since I work 3-11. I really want to get back to the gym after work and I'm just so whooped.

I'll trade. No BM for me since Sunday. Ugh!

Called my surgeons office. They said this isn't normal or abnormal - but they want to try to get me scheduled for a scope just to check for a stricture.

No they haven't. I'm only 13 days out. The explanation from the PA and NUT was I just may not tolerate some things right now.

I don't get nauseated from the food. I got horrible pain in the middle of my chest like something is stuck. I end up vomiting because nothing else makes it go away. For dinner I tried puréed chili. I literally just dipped the spoon in and licked it off. Maybe ate 1-2 oz. About an hour later, still had that stuck feeling and had to throw up to make it stop. I'm not physically making myself throw up. It just happens.

I've been using containers that are marked as 1/2 cup and 1 cup and filling them half full or whatever depending on what I'm eating and how much. Only thing I haven't measured out is scrambled eggs - I know I can eat 1 and I'm done.

I'm supposed to take small bites setting the fork down in between and stop either when I'm full or at 20 minutes. 65g protein and minimum of 64oz of liquid. It just all seems so so so impossible.
