So, tomorrow I go and have my 2nd egd to check the status of my ulcers. This is sooo not fun. Anyone else having problems with these?

Sorry to hear about what you're going thru with this Gen!! Prayers for a speedy recovery!!

Ha! I know, me too! Sometimes the keyboard does it own thing?

Sorry, I didn't read the rest of the posts before I replied, but yeah. I've been setting mfp for 700 cals and I have yet to reach it. So, I guess it's ok. Guess we'll have to see if I keep losing. I'm only weighing once a week cause I get a lil nutty doing it too much. Especially if my period is coming...omg. Lol.

Yeah. That's what I've been trying to do. But you said 400-500 cals a week? Did you mean a day?

Yeah. I was thinking that. It just kind of panicked me. I've always been one that has two bites and is full. I am able to eat more now which is scary in itself, plus eating all that soup was like "whoa"! Lol. How much are you guys up to eating at a time? I'm supposed to be at 1/2 cup per meal.

Oh and this is freaking me out...I had an entire can of Campbell's healthy request chicken corn chowder. It was so yummy. I ate 1/2 and ran around for about an hour then warmed up and ate the other half. Kinda scared me. We aren't supposed to be able to eat that much are we? I have pms like crazy and just wanna eat! Guess the surgery isn't gonna fix that!

Gen, Sorry you aren't feeling well but what good news!! Thank you God for the prayers answered!! Now for that ex-husband issue....we gotta start praying for that too! Lol.

I am taking Prilosec 20mgs twice a day and carafate 10mls four times a day and I'm about 6 weeks out. Ulcers developed about 4 weeks out. If you know anything that can help any info world be appreciated.

So, I'm having this problem now and wondering how all of you made out with your ulcers? I have my 2nd egd the 14th and I am soooo scared every time I have a stomach pain that my pouch is gonna rip open and kill me! Omg. Yes, I have anxiety disorder. Lol.

Gen, Sorry you are having pain, but sooo glad you came thru everything ok! I was praying for you yesterday! How long will your hospital stay be?

Yes Gen!! I know we will all be thinking of you and sending prayers your way tomorrow!! It'll be over before you know it! Stay strong girl and keep us updated when you can!!

Wow!! Congrats!! That is awesome!! Keep up the good work!!

Yes! Less time to wait and really stress out!! You'll do awesome!

I put the fat free gravy on mine and that helps tremendously!!

Umm, same here. I would choke down the protein shots cause I paid for em' and they were a good source if protein. My nut said they were fine to use. Anyways, after almost making myself vomit, I never bought more and just tried to make the Unjury work as much as I could. They also have these shakes I've been seeing around in the dairy aisle, 3o G protein and not nasty at all to me, tastes kinda like chocolate milk really. Shamrock Farms Rockin Refuel.

Yes. I went to see my gp and she said it was a yeast infection. Umm, I don't think so. It would itch, right? And she said they don't necessarily itch and prescribed me diflucan. I thought she was full of s#&t, but took the diflucan anyways, and within a week it did seem to clear up. So, either it was/is some sorta strange yeast infection that doesn't itch (wtf?), or it's just our hormones/bodies adjusting like someone previously mentioned. If you have a script for diflucan, no harm in taking it and seeing if it clears up, but if not, maybe do the otc yeast infection treatment. Then I'd give it another week or two if you can handle that before I'd go see my doc. Lol. I'm a cheapskate! Damn co-pays!!

I know it. I've felt the same way. My Mom always says that we are like raw diamonds and the more trials and tribulations we go thru the more we get "polished", until we are brilliant, beautiful gems! Lord I hope it's true!!

Awe girl!! I bet you are starting to get scared. I would be too! But look at all you been through with no real problems and a positive attitude to boot!! I think you are gonna be just fine. Always know you can come here for support. Do you have someone going with you and all that there?

That is soo sad. Sorry for your loss.

I swear we don't have that brand anywhere around here. I am gonna have to start looking!!

Good idea!! Thank you! And that's true, I guess all of our stuff has sugar, just need to watch the amount.
