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.

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
