Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Thanks Darren. I'm like you. I thought this surgery would have taken the pain away entirely. but I guess like you said earlier, its a trade off. I also forget to take the enzymes sometimes and usually I have no problems. Sometimes I will finish dinner and I will ask the kids " did I take th enzyme " so sometimes I take it and forget I did. Sort of because an automatic thing. I was doing so great before those stupid hernia surgeries last May. I started having more trouble the last month or so. Inc. pain, nausea, and white stools. The last few days I have been very bloated, gassy and constipated. I doubled up on the miralax, started taking stool softeners and GasX. I also started back on the dilaudid last week. I know that narcs can cause constipation and the like but not having any pain has sure helped my blood sugars. They have been wnl's the last few days and that is a nice feeling. I m ust be doing something right...LOL. But the discomfort after I eat has gotten worse. I hate to have more problems and am so tired and weak. I just want to go back to work and dont understand why all this stuff keeps happening. Its very depressing and discouraging. I am still so much better off then when before the tp-auto ict tho. Have you been able to gain any weight since your total? Mine is pretty stable but I do make myself eat lately, even if I dont feel like it. I take the zofran about 45 minutes before I eat anything and that helps. Doesn't do much for the pain, bloating and constipation tho. Maybe its just my IBS rearing its ugly head. Hows the family? Hows work? Its really good to hear from you. Take care chrissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
