I had my surgery on Dec 26. Currently down 40 pounds but it has been hell. Currently dealing with ulcers and. NOTHING tastes good. Spending tons of money trying to find the magic food that doesn’t make me sick to my stomach. 6 week appt is on Monday. Hope they can shed some light on my issues.

Are u having trouble getting food down? Or feel like it gets stuck? I have ulcers too and they changed my meds and that is supposed to help.

Dr has changed my meds to 2 new ulcer meds. I never take NSAIDS or drink or smoke. I have been doing what the doctor ordered. I have not had the symptoms mentioned for ulcers. All i ever felt was that i was so full and it felt like a knot below breast bone. Hoping my meds kick in soon. Back to focusing strictly on protein (Fairlife milk) and water. Hoping I can get back on track. Oh and they tested me for that bacteria and I didnt have it. Here is what my stomach looks like

Anyone else dealing with ulcers? I am 5 weeks out and started having problems with food right after i was advanced to food that can be cut with fork. Had an EGD today and my poor little pouch is a big ol ulcer. So i am back to liquid diet for a week and 2 new ulcer meds. I have been on the struggle bus since day one and I am starting to get depressed with each set back. I know i am not getting enough protein. Some days, i just struggle with water. I need help. Not sure what to do...i just know i want to be back to normal and not have all this pain and extreme fatigue.

I may try those soups out. Any particular one that you really like?

Have you tried these???

Thank you! I just feel like I am failing....and being sick on top of it makes it worse. Thanks again!!!

I am 7 days post op and I thought getting my shakes done would be easier. However, i am having a hard time getting any type of protein down. I have to be on a liquid diet until i go back to dr on January 12....i went out and purchased unflavored whey protein and Tried mixing it with chicken broth.....lets just say that was a bad choice. Any advice? I keep drinking as much as I can with out actually puking.....oh and on top of all of this, I have thrush and a sinus infection. Please tell me this gets easier and how the hell do i make it better???
