RE: Nauseous

I started throwing up regularly about a week and a half after surgery. When I

eat things I am suppose to have I throw up, sometimes I throw up when I drink

water. I can eat eggs one day but throw them up the next day. It's weird. I

don't want to eat or drink for fear of throwing up. But you can't just stop

eating and drinking without serious problems. I still want food. I still crave

things but won't eat for the fear of throwing up. I've been through 3 upper

GI's. All clear. The last one showed my esophagus spasms. So I thought they

would do something about it instead they are sending me to have another test.

Right now my body is in starvation mode because I'm hardly eating anything so my

weight loss has stopped. I want to start feeling good so I can get my walking in

and start my weight loss again.
