Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Penny, this is pure speculation as I've, fortunately, never had either problem, but the pain part sounds like possibly a bowel obstruction or kinked intestine. On the other hand, the throwing up is often a symptom of a closed or swollen stoma. Hopefully, the gastroenterologist can figure it out.

It doesnt happen if I am intaking very small amounts (3 bites yogurt) but 1/4 of a chicken sandwich, where as I used to be able to eat 3/4, and Im dying. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Hi Penny, You probably aren't dying. However it is a good idea you are seeing your doctor to be sure everything is OK. What it probably means is that you won't be able to eat as much or as varied or as well as you would like for a while. Your stomach may be going through some natural changes. This means you will lose weight faster -- and that isn't so bad! I am now slightly underweight 18 months out. It isn't so bad to be underweight. Find some things you can eat and stick with them. Have ice cream snacks. Eat popsicles. Try crackers and cheese. Eat raw oysters. Try protein bars. Enjoy it while it lasts.
