Thank you everyone! Yes my doctor is going to put me on carafate and some other meds for about 3 months but I still am feeling out of it and sluggish my surgery was July 23rd

[jessamarie24 173]

I had an unexplained ulcer back in June! Follow what your surgeon says! Mine put me on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks' date=' Carafate for 4 months, and has watched me pretty closely ever since!

Mine will watch over me too for awhile! They said a long as liquids are good I can do soft foods for a while. Nothing rough or hard or even fresh veggies/fruits.

Yep! That was me too.....My doctor just now took me off Carafate, but told me if I have the same symptoms as before, to get right back on it! Soft foods were my best friend after mine found my ulcer!

How scary. I am glad that you got help fast and you are now on the way to recovery. I wonder what causes some to get ulcers and not others. This whole journey is such a learning experience.

[jessamarie24 173]

I wonder the same! Alls I know is I know have to go back to liquids and pureee foods for awhile. Nothing spicey or crunchy.. Dang it'

Glad to hear that you're doing better and good for you for getting help quickly. Ulcers can often be controlled with diet so no cheating on the diet your doctor gave you! The sooner you get better the sooner you can get back to a regular diet!!

I had excruciating stomach pain for over a week. No tarry stools, but excruciating stomach pain. Because of the pain, I dumped everything I ate and drank. It was torture!

Thanks DL I'll stick to what they tell me which is add protine powder to everything! Lol I'm doin carafate in the am, then my acid meds, then having cream of wheat in the am with skin milk and protine powder, then a protine shake, then Soup with added protine powder, then another shake, and then something soft like soup for dinner with protine powder added. I'll be doing this for 6 weeks :/ as long as I get better it's whatever!
