I had an unexplained ulcer back in June! Follow what your surgeon says! Mine put me on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks' date=' Carafate for 4 months, and has watched me pretty closely ever since!

Mine will watch over me too for awhile! They said a long as liquids are good I can do soft foods for a while. Nothing rough or hard or even fresh veggies/fruits.

Yep! That was me too.....My doctor just now took me off Carafate, but told me if I have the same symptoms as before, to get right back on it! Soft foods were my best friend after mine found my ulcer!

How scary. I am glad that you got help fast and you are now on the way to recovery. I wonder what causes some to get ulcers and not others. This whole journey is such a learning experience.

Glad to hear that you're doing better and good for you for getting help quickly. Ulcers can often be controlled with diet so no cheating on the diet your doctor gave you! The sooner you get better the sooner you can get back to a regular diet!!

I had excruciating stomach pain for over a week. No tarry stools, but excruciating stomach pain. Because of the pain, I dumped everything I ate and drank. It was torture!

Thanks DL :) I'll stick to what they tell me which is add protine powder to everything! Lol I'm doin carafate in the am, then my acid meds, then having cream of wheat in the am with skin milk and protine powder, then a protine shake, then Soup with added protine powder, then another shake, and then something soft like soup for dinner with protine powder added. I'll be doing this for 6 weeks :/ as long as I get better it's whatever!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
