Hi
@donnellysdogs Is your soft veg and liquids diet a temporary measure? Your lasagne looks lovely.
Not sure. Am on a new drug Amitiza to try and kick start my innards working.... I see the gastro chap next Thurs. Drug leaflet and chemist said to only take for two weeks but consultant wrote for 4 weeks. Leaflet said to take only for 4 weeks unless under supervision...when it can be taken for two more weeks. Supposedly then the stomach n colon will carry on working, but I have been told it will be slower than previous which was already slow.
Food is being temperamental. Nuts still come out as I ate them 6 or 7 days after I ate them. It used to be 5 days. I have to wait till Friday to see if this food will exit ok..
I had one treat last Weds in 4 weeks and that was a waitrose yum yum... And it has not come out so far... I know when it appears as the nuts on it will come out whole in their ate format...
I hope it is temporary and I can eat something other than soup, smoothies or mashed veg as its really hard to get enough calories...and boredom and yearning does kick in....as much as its all homemade and delicious.... I can eat melon balls n yogurt too.
If I have to keep relying upon the oral enemas used for clearing out stomachs pre ops then its horrible... And I know long term I may face a bag but consultant is trying everything he can to help me and I do have every confidence in him. He has restored my faith in NHS.
GPs can't give this drug as its about £58 for a month and cannot be repeated again. Compare this to £3-£4 a month that laxido sachets cost and it is a very expensive drug but hopefully will work.
I so hope it works and I can be less restrictive.
