I can't keep food down 2 endoscopes later and I just lost my job. I want a glass of wine bad. I'm at 5 weeks. Anyone?

Depo shot put 50 lbs on me years ago. Sr told me its called the blow up shot. Never ever recomend it! Just use condoms.

Best information ever! Lmao I'm running to tell my husband!

For me, I can go days without wanting to eat at all. I drink however. I do calorie count a preop habit I can't break. BUT I can see through it that when I eat I lose. To be blunt when I eat I also "poo" Lmao its true. My weight loss clearly picks up when that happens. Soooo, my personal gage is calories and frequency in the bathroom. It's a signal to me that .not eating enough again. I am at 5 lbs a week. I walk, take the stairs at work and drink water all day. But if I don't get over 500 cals my metabolism full stops for up to 5 days. hope it sheds some light.

I know over dialation is a huge concern. 10 is the goal, I just spoke with my nurse I have to go every week. Your story is helping me make sense of it. I hope this will be resolved by next month. My nurse is going to help facilitate pain management. I was nearly closed and im told that's why I have pain, reminiscent of my first week post op. I'm in envy of my friend who is bright and bushy tailed going out all the time, all I can muster is work. I'm sooo tiered I hate it. I look forward to a resolution.

I'm on egg nogg now. Raw eggs for protein my mom is making them for me.

I'm finding threads hard to follow. I saw tank he seems to have done well. Mine is not going well. I don't understand it all and I'm hoping for more information so I can rationalize this. My husband is angry. He can not understand how this is happening. And I can't quite explain it.

I had a stricture. I was in a lot of pain after with spasms and vomiting for hours (7 total). I just got corrected information from my friend who took me. I was almost closed 100%. They opened me 5 cm ( we have the 5 right but maybe its mm?) They told her I meds to go in every week for up to 4 times they estimate. It was horrible for me. I'm going ro ask for some kind of after care the next time. Please if you can expand on the stoma closing I would appreciate it. I'm scared now. I was already scared but now I'm just shocked. My friend said she wanted to give me a few says to get better before she gave me all the info because I had such a bad reaction to the stretching. It was exactly 1 month out and I'm a revision. This is all unpaid, now adding to the stress. Physically I'm set back a good week. Emotions are raw. I don't want to face this 4 more times. My friend said they maxed out going 5 cm and could do no more. They need me at ten and o was near zero. I was told it will regress and they will keep fighting it untill it is open. Any info? I'm scared.

Why is it stressful?

Fantastic! I know the feeling of will it happen. I'm still feeling it. My husband is spooked by my weight loss. It makes him wonder if its too fast. I don't get coments from anyone but him so I feel like its not working. I know my day will come..

Awsome! You look fab
