I am 12 1/2 weeks out and I am down 70 pounds, but I have trouble with food.

I am having the same troubles. I went to the doc yesterday and my surgery date was June 12th, 2012. I was told to return to a clear liquid diet x2 weeks. If I am unable to eat I am getting yet another EDG & a feeding tube.

I was told by my doc that if the diet pop was flat, it would be ok "occasionally" I have been afraid to try though.

Unfortunately, any protein I eat/drink does not stay down so I am having trouble getting any protein.

I am light head/dizzy everytime I bend over. I have been dehydrated sinc surgery, I get IV fluids every week and I cannot sem to get in all thefluids I need. I am having trouble eating as well, I was weighed today and I am down 60 pounds now, and my surgery date was 6-12-12. I havehad 1 EDG and had no strictures so its just me lol

I am not workingvout at all, I have a bad back and theconly exercise I get is walking at work.

I had surgery 6-12-12 & I am down 60 pounds

I went back to work full time 10 days post- op, I was tired for the first 2 weeks, but it got better.

Congrats! I had only back pain too, but my back had been fused twice so mine wasnt from gas. I wish you only the best on your new life

So glad to hear they fixed you! I know the disapointment about being moved back on your diet, that happened to me too, but it is for the best, that is what I kept telling myself anyways lol again glad you are on the mend.

Sorry to hear that Pazzo. I wish I could take some of your hunger for you, as I have the oposite effect, I am never hungry and dont eat but a bite or two a day. Your doctors office cant help by setting up a payment option so that you can at least get an appointment to be seen?

How long ago did you have surgery? Sometimes your mind thinks your hungrey and your not. It gets better.

I know that my doc office stated at that first meeting that if you lived farther than 90 miles you should plan to stay in a hotel a few days post-op, but not a month! I would call the closer office and make sure your insurance company will cover at the second office. I had to pay for my surgery because my insurance would not pay for mine, and I had to come up with $15000.00 + $2200.

Hopefully they will get that bleed fix fast & infuse some blood, that should help a ton!

WTG! I was just able to go and purchase new scrubs for work and I cannot remember the last time I was in clothes this size! I love it
