Oh, my! Frustration!

I spoke to my GI Dr. today. He told me I am not to be eating fruits and vegetables. Won't be abe to for some time. Bummer. I maybe getting another stricture and because I have had so many, surgery is next! I am hoping that my new difficulty eating is due to my cold. My pouch is so much smaller than usual (not much for surgeon to work with) that I am hoping it is just filling with mucous. Dr said he hopes so for my sake. Oh my, this is just getting so old and I am trying not to get discouraged but it is harder all the time. I know others have it harder than I and I am grateful things aren't worse. Still, I am tired of what is going on. You know things are unusual when the staff at the endoscopy clinic hug you when you come in. lol Does anyone here have stricture problems? Please remember me in your prayers. Grins, Kaye

I am so sorry to hear about the troubles you are having Kaye. Thankfully I dont have any stricture problems. My biggest problem is the return of a ferocious appetite. And nightmares about waking up 368 lbs again. I will remember you in my prayers! -Sherrie

Thanks Sherrie, I truly need them! I hear you on the appetite. I want a sandwich so bad!!! The appetite is there but I can't eat! I liked it better when I didn't get hungry. It was easier. Grins, Kaye

Kaye - I'm sorry that you're having so many problems. Must be very frustrating. I haven't had any strictures so I can't give you any advice about that. I just wanted you to know that we're here for you. (((((((((HUGS)))))))) Melody
