So, as I mentioned in an earlier post I had a major pain in the night after taking a sip of water. My surgeon had me come in because he thought I might have a perferated ulcer. But thankfully the CT and the Scope both showed this was not the case. I also do not have a hernia or any form of an ulcer, however the surgeon wants to see me in a week for a follow up to see how things go this next week. So for now I am taking a step backwards in my eating and going back to soft foods (probably more liquids than anything), just to make sure whatever this is has a chance to pass and my pouch has a chance to heal from this.

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

Do you take Prilosec, Nexium or anything similar?  I get pain in the lower esophagus and stomach without the Nexium.  The Dr has me take liquid Carafate when Nexium isn't enough.

Our numbers are very close, on my surgery day I was down 40 from 4 weeks of pre-op diet. As of last Monday (I weight weekly) I was down 29 since surgery. I sometimes feel like I have been losing slow since surgery, but at just under 2 months out I have lost approx. 15lbs a month and in reality that is not slow, so I would say you are not losing slow either. However I understand those feelings and the frustration because I have them too!!!

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

Thank you everyone! I am just grateful there was nothing wrong! The Dr. has had me on prevacid since surgery, I go see him again in a week so we will see how things are going then. I think it may have been a matter of me being half asleep and not paying attention to what I was doing when I was drinking water during the night, maybe I drank it too fast or gulped and cause too much air I don't know but lesson learned to pay attention to what I am doing, even in the middle of the night.
