Hungry, tired, weak, frustrated, angry---need to vent!

 Had my UGI last Wednesday. Nurse calls and says everythings look good. Says I need to chew better, eat slower, yada yada yada. I said ok, I will accept if it is me  but "why did all my symptoms go away each time he dilated me? That doesn't make sense to me. I asked her if she would relay this to him and she said yes. So, Thursday afternoon he actually called me!! (Being a nurse I have a fear of being a pain in the @$$ patient! He said he went over the films with the radiologist and I do have narrowing again. He is not sure how narrow and maybe it is from the inflammation of puking. So we decided that I would stay on liquids Thurs and Friday. Then soft, and Sunday solids and report in on Monday. Well, I almost puked my oatmeal (Very liquid with added milk) yesterday so I call his office to see if he just wouldn't scope me yesterday. He was out of the office, so we are going again, 3rd time, on Monday.
I am just so tired of this. I am 11 weeks out and should be able to eat normal food. i have never had the chance because this all started at 7 weeks, and recurrs every 2 weeks. I am very hungry, and I think that 3 months of lack of food is startting to wear on me. I have used my stores. Still fat though, so what stores I am talking about I do not know.
My husband is being all work consumed again, like I knew he would once he went back to work. ****** me off!
Wish me luck. Thanks for listening! 

I'm sorry that you are struggling.  I thought at one point that I may have had a stricture, but come to find out my new pouch just doesn't like chicken.  Chicken is the only thing that makes me vomit.  I do have my share of other issues though.  You are not alone in your struggles.  We can and WILL get through this.  Keep your head up.

Sorry you are having these problems. I had you'll be taken care of on Monday and it won't come back!

 Thanks ladies!

Hang in there. I know it's tough right now, but later this will just be a little blip on the radar. You will feel healthy and light and limber and liberated. And you will barely remember hell month(s). I swear!

I had a stricture that probably started at 4 weeks. My doctor said it is not unusual to have to stretch the opening 3 times. After my first 'stretch' I was fine for about 3 days, then I started vomiting etc., again.  I went back in and this time I had developed ulcers. I was in the hospital on IVs and nutrional suppl IV for 4 days.  My potassium level is still not up.  Being a nurse, I'm sure you are more aware of how important it is to keep hydrated and not let yourself get so far down that road.  I'm doing bettter now, but I feel like I am beginning to have some problems again. I can still eat & drink though.  I go back for another endoscope on the 22nd -- whether or not I am experiencing symptoms to see how the ulcers are healing & to make sure I am not closing off.
Good luck.  I know it is very frustrating.

 You had your surgery around the same time as me. I sure hope 3rd time is a charm for me. He put me on carafate after my 1st EGD, and Ihave been on pepcid ac since surgery so I better not have an ulcer. Thanks for your encouragement!

I'm so sorry you're struggling, love. All I can say is that I echo Bugdoc. In the long run, this will all be a distant memory, an you'll be feeling back to normal (better than normal!) in no time.

Hang in there, this can't last forever. *hug*

I am so sorry you are going through all of this. I sent you my phone number via private message some time ago or you can probably find it on my fb photo page which you can find via my page. Call me ANYTIME you need to talk or vent. Our hubby's as lovely as they may be aren't always the best support.
