on the liquid diet. I went to my doctors appt today. Since I am still vomiting and dehydrated back to the very beginning of the stages. I will be 4 weeks post op tomorrow and I am starting from the beginning again. sheesh.

oh, i am so very sorry. i had surgery on dec 6 and was following the plan without too much difficulity but when i transitioned into the 5th week everything stopped and headed in reverse every time i ate! lordy that wasn't fun at all. i was so sick and dehydrated after not eating and drinking for 3 days that the hospital couldn't even get an iv started when i went in for my second surgery to correct a stomach stricture on jan 18th! i was placed back on liquids only for a week and then have been only on soft foods until i see the dr for a follow up next tues. i'm still struggling to get enough protein in every day even with adding protein powder to my food. i'm trying hard but i'm getting so frustrated with the fact that i still can't keep everything down. even the meds they are giving me to coat my stomach to help me to eat now makes me sick. not much fun right now but i'm trying to stay positive. i follow the drs orders, attend my group meeting, exercise and i really believe this rough patch will pass--lets hope sooner rather then later though. good luck with your future journey!!

wow, sounds like my journey... I also had to be re-hospitalized for dehydration. I can relate to the IV, same thing happened to me. The doctor instructed me today to drink milk all day nothing else, drink a gallon if I have to. That will satisfy my fluid and protein daily allowance. I wonder what is wrong with our stomachs that they are so sensitive.

I'm really starting to hear that. I wonder why that is happening. I hope your doctors are monitoring you. Hang in there!

glad to know i'm not the only one having a rough time right now but i am sorry you are having one too.
