change in diet (day 14)

Jul 20, 2010

so i was able to keep down water last nite...thats a good thing because i wouldve had to go to the ER per my doctor if i couldnt.

i spoke to him this morning and he said strictures dont happen overnite. the opening is very small on purpose and its swollen for sometime which is why you have to eat the food in stages. my opening is probably still swollen which is why i cant keep anything down. the fact that i can keep water down means its not closed. also sometime people stay nauseated for a while after surgery. i maybe doing the correct things but my body is rejecting it cause its just not ready. so the doctor told me to dial down some of the foods im eating and only eat creamy foods such as cream of wheat, creamed soups, cheese, etc. plus the protein shakes and liquids for a while. he also told me to continue my nasuea meds and hes ordering another one for me to take too, and hopefully itll help me move pass the nausea stage.

he could do an endoscopy and even widen the opening but he doesnt recommend it cause it will let too much food in and i wont lose the weight i want. so he asked me to try this and if i feel its not working then he can setup the endoscopy whenever i want.

now that ive been able to taste food i think im ok going backwards to get better first then move forward. wish me luck that this wont take forever to get past...hopefully ill start losing weight again too.
