Cheryl,

Boy girlfriend, you have really gone through it. Glad to hear they have an

answer now but what a dilemma. I wish you and the nutrienist luck in getting a

diet that will work for you. Take care and God bless.

Cheryl,

Thanks for the update!! I have never heard of this since doing all

of my research prior to surgery. This is quite interesting and I

like to hear what type of diet you are put on my the nutritionist.

Were you still trying to eat/drink the protein, fats, vegetables,

starch or condensed carbs including milk products? Did you have

diabetes before surgery? I pray they can find you something to eat

that will be nourishing and good.

Hugs, in AL.

Cheryl,

Wow, that is interesting. I am sure that you don't think so. Well

thank God that they found you some sort of answer. It might not be the

easiest thing to deal with but at least you know where to go from here.

I am sure that the nutrionist will be able to work something out that

will work for you. I pray that you solution is coming soon.

Yes, I was still trying to eat all of the things my body would not tolerate

including broth and water. I was in so much pain they perscribed a pain patch

to wear all of the time.(narcotic) That was rough. Well my doctor said he

would call me this evening with the information to the nutritionist. I will

keep you posted on what kind of diet we work out. They are thinking about

giving me enzymes to take to help me be able to digest other things. We will

see.
