Past frustrated!!

After being released from the hospital last week I was told that I could enjoy a diet of soft foods and liquids.... woo hoo, ugh! So the last 3 days I was ok'd to start introducing more "solid" foods, just stay away from ruffage and high fiber... not going well at all! I have now started to feel "stopped up" again and am in more pain
So I call the doc, cause we have been on a day to day check in and he says to go back to soft foods and liquids, the stricture has just gotten to were you aren't able to pass the thicker foods! Ugh ugh ugh.... on top of everything I have run outt of pain meds and the pharmacy I use refuses to refill without a hard copy of the script! So here I am in pain again with no meds and I am back to a diet of boost, cream of wheat, graham crackers and cream of chicken soup!
I try so hard to stay positive about my situation, but some days its just easier to give in, scream, yell, cry and be in a cruddy mood!

Cream of wheat? I love that stuff but havent touched it in years, one is it can bind you, two wheat causes bloat and if you are putting milk and sugar on it... boom bad symptoms. I know it hurts, but you need to see your doctor , sounds like you are narrowing and that can be so painful. I dont doubt you are in a crappy mood, and being in pain , will cause that!. When do you see your doctor again? :hang: hope you feel better soon!

Yeah the cream of wheat seems to be one of the only foods with substance that I can stomach... I am narrowed to a "string" according to the scans and follow thrus, the docs were just hoping that by taking the prednisone it would help with the narrowing... nope
I see the doctor in a week but until then we are taking it day by day and trying very hard to avoid surgery!
My pain is still here, no meds for it til tomorrow, but I am in a better mood! It helped a lot just to vent a little earlier.
