Don't know if I should be worried? Follow up

First let me say agian how very much your replies and support have meant to me. Now, here's the update...

Dr finally returned my call. Had a good in depth conversation with him and while he says he is a bit concerned, He thinks I'll be ok to wait till my next appt. He said that because of the g-tube we don't have to worry about dehydration and getting in my protein. He suggests that I stay on the clear/full liquids if it helps, but I can keep "experimenting" with pureed and soft foods if I felt up to it. I'm not vomiting now, but if I start he wants to know. Doc said we would have to reevaluate the situation if that happens. 

We talked about what this could be, and he said that it may just be that my pouch is still swollen and irritated and can't handle foods yet. I can still eat a spoonful (baby spoon) or so at a time, but that's it. And then I am done for the day. His suggestion was to not push the pureed/soft foods and just eat what makes my pouch happy. I guess he might have suspected that this would happen because he didn't seem all that surprised! He kept saying, "yeah, that can happen." And since he was up to his elbows in me, I guess he would know!!!!  LOL

I'm glad you talked to him and that he seemed to be ok with all of it.  You have been through so much.  I hope it is just a speed bump, not a detour.  this certainly isn't what you signed up for but in the end, it will be good and you just need to keep your eye on the goal. 

I am trying really hard to keep my eye on the goal. Only problem is that the goal seems to be getting farther farther away. Kind of like the bad dream where you're running as fast as you can but you're not getting anywhere! I know it will get better, but this is so much harder than I thought it would be. I sure didn't sign up for this, and neither did my husband. You are right about that!!! Last night I was complaining about having pain after eating some pudding and my DH says, "Well, you did this to yourself. You did choose this, so I don't want to hear about it anymore!"   I was totally shocked. He's never been the comforting type, but man!!!!! I was so pissed!!! Anyway, everyone in my circle is getting tired of the complications. Most act like I'm doing it on purpose! I'm so happy to have support here! Thanks!                                        -Julie

Sounds pretty reasonable but I sure wish you weren't having to go through all this. Hang in there and keep us posted.

Thanks, Gina! I'm hanging!!! I'll defiantly keep you all updated if anything changes. Soon, I'll have lots of positive victories of my own to post!!! The scale and the non scale types!               -Julie

Thanks for the update!!  Hang in there - this will all be water under the bridge before long.

And, remember that (most) men are not who we need to vent to... they have a warped sense of "getting into the solution" and want to fix everything.  If it's not something they can fix then they wonder why in the heck you are even telling them about it.  They don't "get" that we women have to gritch or else we'll blow up!  LOL

Big hugs!

Glad to hear it's nothing serious! 

I am so sorry that you are going through this. You will look at back at this moment and know it was worth it.

Good luck Julie.  I hope that everything settles down soon.
