 I finally had my doctor appointment on Thursday and he set me up for an endoscopy the next morning, turns out it was a pretty severe stricture. He wants to go back in in 4 weeks to recheck it doesn't start to close again.  I haven't eaten practically in 2 1/2 months, so I was in heaven the past two days.  I want to tell everyone that when I was sick (throwing up every single day) I thought that that was part of the process, if I would've called the doctor sooner I could have avoided theses months of agony.  Thanks again everyone! Now it's time to get some energy back and start living!!

It's now been 9 weeks and I have lost 50 lbs.  I only had that good week at 6 weeks and then it was back to being sick every day.  I made an appointment with the surgeon for next week (he's been on vaca ) and hopefully he will set me up with an endoscopy very soon after.  I am hoping that I have a stricture so that he can fix it and I can get on with my life.  If he tells me there is nothing wrong I will cry!  I can't eat anything but my protein drinks, lunch meats and cheese with out getting sick.  I can get my vits in and most of my water. I average about 500 calories a day and have been trying very hard to get to 60g of protein. 
On a positive, the weight has been coming off pretty steady and I just got rid of ALL my clothes. I finally can see the difference in myself and I think my husband is getting excited seeing it too.
