Sandie, Thanks for posting and the support. I'm going to give it 1 more week and write down everything I eat & drink and see if there are any patterns. If I'm still having problems I'm going to get into see the Doctor for sure. Thanks, Kelly

Barb, Thanks for posting. I've been wondering if it was too small. I'll give it 1 more week and then if things aren't better I'm going to see the Doctor. Thanks for the support, Kelly

Aw Kelly that bites! Two thoughts...one was Barb mentioned, just like Angela experienced. And the other is did Dr. Baker put you on Prilosec or Zantac after surgery? I think Teri W. had experience with needing to take this after surgery and her surgeon's office failed to tell her she should be taking it. Dr. Baker is a good doctor so it's hard to imagine he is not helping you. He does give you his pager number right? Use it, that's what I say! Keep us posted Kel!

No, Dr. Baker didn't put me on any medicine. I do have his pager number, and I have called it, but unfortunatley he never really has any answers for me...........I'm a little disappointed with him. He's a good Doctor don't get me wrong, but when it comes to weird problems like I've experienced there's never and answer..........

Thanks for the support, I'll keep you posted, Kelly

I have no words of wisdom, nor have I had any issues similar to yours. If it's not a matter of not chewing things well enough, then it would seem to be the stoma (exit hole). The liquids for a few days may sound like a drag, but if your stoma is swollen and/or irritated, Sue may have a point- that could buy you a little time to let it settle down. Then try the purees again & see if it all goes through. Will I see you at coffee again Saturday?

Hi Darla, Thanks for posting. Yes, I might just try liquids for a few days, then document everything I eat and see what happens. Yes I'll be at coffee Saturday. Cafeteria or meeting room? Kelly

I don't think we've had the meeting room since our first coffee there - we're usually right about where we were last time! SEE YOU THEN!

Sorry that you are having such a difficult time. I know what that is like. I was not able to keep anything down for about a month. I was able to drink water but even water at times would make me sick. Be persistent with the doctors office. I called 1-2x a week and we always tried something different. In the end I went into the ER and from there they did a CT scan and found nothing but gallstones. Then I had a Scope test where they found that they opening to allow food was to small and that is why food would not pass through. They used a balloon to enlarge the opening between 10-12mm. Ever since that has happened I have been able to keep food down and finally getting my energy back. Again be persistent with them. Wishing you all the best. If you need anything feel free to contact me anytime.

God Bless, Angela
