hey cookie, yeah i know what it's like... everything takes so much time to happen, esp when you're in so much agony, you lose patience and need help pronto. been there, done that, and i know how you feel. but it does sound like this gastro doc is seriously looking into you case, isn't he? just little more patience, you'll make it. keep us updated.

Hoddaya,

it is actually true that anorectic people tend to have constipation issues due to little/no intake/stimulation. Like all muslces the musles of the gut can become atrophic and shrink. It is the same mechanism when you are on TPN and have nothng per mouth for some time. However, this process is reversible.
It is NOT true that your MOTILIY is actually altered when you eat very little;your bowel has not altered its contractile pattern which is responsible for motility. I really understand you.. I mean eating almost nothing (0-200kcal a day) was survival for me, too..I would have had much more obstructions and to be honest I had such extreme pain I would have done everthing!!!! to ease it, however nothing worked really! You can't imagine my desperate and horrible trials of manual disimpactation.

Right after the ileo I had to manually disimpact the stoma hole, I first tried to stimulate movement by pressing and rubbing on the skin around the stoma and if this did not work I took my fingers or a small catheter to remove the balls/hard output from the inside.

Sarah, my gosh, i can't imagine having to disimpact the stoma!!!! that sounds aweful, poor thing.. but you don't have to do that any more, do you? it works better for you now, doesn't it?
Posted 8/1/2010 1:35 AM (GMT 0)
Yes, it works better somewhat... howver, the whole disease never fails to "suprise" you with new ongoing and progressing symptoms like my bladder problem, endocrine disturbances etc...

still grateful for the improvemt stoma-wise since it was not a very pleasant procedure - not because I would feel disgusted but I was pretty nauseated while trying to manually disimpact the stoma. However, I don't know if this changing is really positive for me in the long-term since it may be part of the symptoms cuased by an endocrine tumor in the gut which can be associated with my underlying condition.

I am going to discontinue the immune therapy, too much additional pain and problems, too little support and much accusations from the anesthesists. I don't even respond to cortisone which they said I had to take in order to suppress the overacting immune response but obviously this does not work for me and only aggravates my hormonal imbalance/cortisol issues.

so glad to hear it's better now, i do hope it's b/c of a good reason tho. i can't blame you for being nausested while disimpacting the stoma...... it's a terrible situation to be in! i'm glad you don't have to do it any more. i don't know, if this therapy is making you feel worse, maybe it's not good for you. do the drs know if it's supposed to be like that? i mean, maybe it's hard at first but then it supposed to improve? well i don't know anything about this, i just hope and pray your drs and you can find something to help you soon.

Checking in after have a subtotal on Wednesday.  The doctor left just the sigmoid.  By last night I was passing gas so was able to have a clear liquid meal.  Two BMs last night so breakfast was a soft diet.  I'm home now and on a soft diet.  Is there anything in particular I should stay away from?  Mashed potatoes for sure, right?

Let the pain get started so took a vicodin.  Going to go rest and will try to catch up later.

Val

Posted 8/1/2010 8:05 PM (GMT 0)
Val, i can't believe you're home already.... i hope they didn't let you go too soon, are you feeling o.k? not nauseated? you're too early post op, pls take it easy and if you notice anything strange go strieght back to the hosp/e.r. don't hesitate. mean time, STAY AWAY FROM: fresh fruits and vegies, seeds, beans, nuts and grains, anything fiberous, you should eat only low fiber/low residue diet. mashed potatos are supposed to be o.k, actually. also stay away from popcorn, red meat, hmmm... what else..? does anyone else remembers what else is not allowed? please chime in... oh and i wouldn't dare trying pizza or hot dogs yet, hot dogs can be disastrous b/c of that skin they have. try to walk as much as you can around the house, walk and rest, hope you keep well hon, and let us know how you're doing, k? best wishes!
Posted 8/1/2010 8:08 PM (GMT 0)
Val, glad the surgery went well.  :-) Did you know your doctor was going to leave your sigmoid colon?

 

As far as diet, I have a temporary loop ileostomy and I ate a small amount of mashed potatoes on day 6 after my surgery and I had no problems. Now, potatoes are a big part of my diet with me eating mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, french fries, and hashbrowns. wink I make sure I drink water with every meal to be sure the food goes through with some liquid....the doctor didn't tell me to do that, I just read on this site to do that and I think it helps.

 

How are you feeling? How was/is your pain now? Take it easy, but try to walk everyday. I have found that I feel so much better when I walk and have worked my way up to 1 & 1/2 miles everyday and I feel great. When I 1st came home, I would walk around and around my house. My husband thought I was crazy, but it seemed to help my food digest better.

 

Tracy cool

I'm finally home, thank goodness! I came home late last night, dr. wanted to keep me another day, but I promised to call him today and check in. I hate that paralytic ileus I always get, but finally TODAY my bowels are awake, and I can hear a thunder storm inside my gut! I finally passed some gas today and my stomach is finally a bit more soft. Thank goodness, I didn't want another dose of MOM.

Val, wow, glad you're home already - you'll rest so much more at home! As far as food, everyone is so different, and hopefully you'll be able to eat most things. Definitely google low residue diet and stick pretty much to take for the first 4-6 weeks. My doctor really didn't give many restrictions but I did better following the low residue.

Sarah, it really must be difficult to be so young and have so many issues. I just hope you continue to find good doctors along the way.

Rosemary, where are you at now? When do you return? I have my form all filled out to get my hospital records, and I'm not the type of person to sue, but I'm so pissed off at this surgeon!! I mean, in all probability, he did the right thing for me to have the best outcome, but for him not to tell me or my other surgeon is bizarre!! It would have been nice to know that I needed another surgery, and if you all recall I mentioned months ago, something wasn't right again, but I was just going to live with it! I'm so mad...He made it easy on himself, removed all risks, and let my other surgeon have to handle the risky stuff and potential problems. (plus, honestly - he may be good with the knife, but had NO bedside manners at all) My husband is very determined that he not be able to do this again in the future.

cookie, so frustrating waiting in limbo, isn't it? I think that is probably the hardest thing, well that and all the tests they always want to run.

Allie, any new updates on Lizzie? How is she holding up? Gosh.. I hate being in the hospital, but that poor girl lives there!
Posted 8/1/2010 8:53 PM (GMT 0)
Hoyada, Tracy and Jenise - Thanks for the quick replies. You ladies are my heros! *smile* Yes, I thought that I was released pretty quickly too but imho I heal faster at home than in a hospital. Four days in the hospital is the quickest I've heard of. No nausea today, Hodaya, but was nauseated for the first few days. They had me on reglan (sp?) and that took care of it but made me sleepy.
Well, hubby got home with groceries so I'm going to see what he got that I can have.
Posted 8/1/2010 9:05 PM (GMT 0)
Tracy - No I didn't know he was going to leave the sigmoid and I'm not sure how I feel about it. If the problem is taken care of then fine, otherwise I'm not going to be happy with him at all.
Posted 8/2/2010 2:16 AM (GMT 0)
Allie,

how are you doing?

I have experienced a little wonder. I received an e-mail from the chief doc of another recognized urological clinic and what he writes does sound pretty kind and interested. However, I don't put all my hope into anyone any more since I have been disappointed each time.
I have an appointment with him and his pediatric urologist in October to discuss my problem.

Meanwhile I am still suffering from the side effect but I am slowly improving; but I still need iv pain meds every day. To make things worse I can't do the hormone testing/cortisol measurment in the urine my GI doc agreed to perform. He is the most open doc I have and although he cannot believe that something will show up he did agree.
But since the immunoglobulins will circulate in the body up to six weeks and apparantly alter hormone secretion (may be just because of the associated physical stress) I will have to postpone this test.
Posted 8/2/2010 5:39 AM (GMT 0)
Jenise, so glad you're home. yeah isn't that ileus the worst thing? glad your bowel started waking up, thunder storm is a good sigh :) my stoma was wild and LOUD for the first 2 weeks LOL, it was so funny, but i also was so worried it will stay that loud, it was so embarrasing that for many hours i didn't even want to come out of my room at the hospital, good thing i was put in a single room, othewise i would have been SOOOO embarrased. but it all eventually calmed down and now it's doing it's job so quietly. i just wanted to say what is it with these surgoens anyway... i asked mine to do the end ileo, he said sure no prob, then did the loop one... i was SO MAD!!!!! Val's surgeon leaves the sigmoid w/o her knowing too, and yours.... i'm just so speachless about him. gosh these drs have some nerve, don't they..??!!! i'm still mad at mine!! i hope everything works out for you. Val, glad you're not nausested any more. yep, 4 days sure is the fastest i heard too, just keep doing well, won't you :) Sarah, oh i really hope and pray this new dr has some insights and a better understanding of your problems to help you. my surgeon gave me a month illness, so i have only till the 8th of this month, but honestly, i don't feel ready at all to go back to work yet, esp emotionally, i just cannot do it yet. really dunno what to do, i'm seeing my internist today, maybe he can extend it for 2-3 more weeks? i just can't go back to work yet.

Hi Ladies,

 

Lizzie had to be taken by ambulance back to the ER. A CT scan showed an obstruction, and her pain had been increasing. She has been admitted back to the hospital under colorectal, which is great- they all know her and know how to take great care of her. They put an NG tube down, and it has been draining a lot, so hopefully that will give her substantial relief. Pray that they would figure out what is going on with her heart rate. It is very high- whether it is from the extra fluid from TPN, pain, a combination of those, or from something else, pray for great diagnosticians to get that solved quickly!

 

Sarah - That is so encouraging! I hope and pray this doctor will have the curiosity and the experience to accurately diagnose and properly treat you. I know October seems so far away right now, but that just gives us all lots of time to pray for a great appointment :) And I am so glad you are going to stop the immune therapy- you do not need that additional pain!

 

I am ok...managing. I really can't wait until biofeedback is over. It has caused near-constant spasms, and it honestly feels like it's harder to have a BM now than before therapy started. I have an appointment in the morning, and I'm going to have a serious talk with her about how much longer she sees this going on for (started June 21), and what her expectations are.

 

Val - Wow, that was quick! Take it slow, and listen to your body. If anything feels "off," don't hesitate to get yourself to the hospital. Praying that you recover quickly and heal flawlessly, and that this surgery marks the end of bowel problems for you! A quick word about Reglan if you're still on it...there is a side effect called tardive dyskinesia. If you experience any involuntary movements of your face, lips, tongue, have trouble articulating, etc, take Benadryl and get to the ER. I was on Reglan for two days when I was 19 to help increase motility. I ended up with tardive dyskinesia. It is a miracle it wasn't permanent- scared the living daylights out of the doctor I had at the time. Many people who have this side effect become permanently disabled by it. You can YouTube search it to see what happens. It really is tragic.

 

Jenise - Welcome home! Aren't thunderstorms the best? ;)

 

Happy Monday! Much love and many prayers to you all!!

 

Allie

Posted 8/2/2010 3:52 PM (GMT 0)
Allie - Thanks for letting us know about Lizzie. Praying for her.
When I realized that my sleepiness was caused by Reglan, I refused any more. So far there have been none of the side effects you mentioned.

Welcome home Jenise! Sorry I didn't welcome you yesterday. While in the hospital, I had the same RN for two nights in a row. She kind of adopted me and was especially kind. When I could not pass gas (I was beginning to get worried that I wouldn't) she told me to lay on my left side with my left leg straight, right leg bent at the knee. It hurt like a big dog but it got things moving within an hour. Since I've been home I had to lay like that again and, again, things moved very soon.

Barb - So sorry for what you went through! Oh my goodness, it sounds like the most horrible experience! I told my hubby about your experience last night - I want to be sure that he knows what to look for just in case.

Okay, so McDonald's hamburgers are definitely out for awhile? LOL The only warm food I've had so far is cream of wheat.

My surgery began about 11 on Wednesday; finished by 2 but didn't get to my room until 8:15. The surgeon did it laproscopically, thank goodness. There are three small incisions and one that is maybe two and a half inches long. That's where he pulled the colon through.

Six hours laying on a gurney was tough. By 10 Wednesday night I was walking down the hallway. Talk about a whole new experience! I didn't realize that abdominal muscles could hurt that bad. I'm still walking bent over and need to work that out.

Early yesterday morning the RN told me that I would be sent home with a prescription for Percocet but when I was released the RN (shift change) said that since I was already taking morphine and vicodin on a daily basis a prescription would not be necessary. Does an RN have the authority to counteract what a doctor has written? Think I'll call my pain doctor and fill him in - need to get his opinion and/or instructions.

If I've missed somebody, please forgive me. Still not totally together.

Val

Been trying to catch up on all the posts.  So much going on here.

Barb I know the feeling of getting a NG tube while awake.  Three weeks after my total colectomy I had to have emergency surgery for infection and they put the tube in while I was awake and it was the most horrible thing ever.  I told the doctors there was no way they were ever doing that again while I was awake.  I am so sorry you had to go through that.

Jenise I'm sorry you had so many problems after surgery.  It is scary what can happen.  I hope things get better for you now that you are home.

I am so worried about Lizzie.  It doesn't seem that she can catch a break. 

Hodaya I hope you get some extended time from work. I'm sure that it is going to take some time to adjust and you need to be fully ready to return to work. 

For those of you who just had surgery I hope you recover quickly and do well.

I am still doing well.  I am 9 months post-op and feel pretty good.  I did find out that I need a hysterectomy, but I opted to buy myself some time.  I will be having an ablation, d&c, and hysterscopy done in a couple of weeks.  I told my OBGYN that there was no way my body was ready for major surgery.  The procedure I am having should buy me a year or two.

I am praying for everyone.

 

Posted 8/3/2010 4:06 AM (GMT 0)
Hi Hodaya,

I have been reading your posts with great interest.  I am going to decide within a month if I want to change my subtotal colectomy with an ileo-rectal anastamosis to an ileostomy.  It is a huge life change, I can imagine.  I would be having it for different reasons then you did though; I have had chronic diarrhea since having my surgery in April 2009.  Actually because I have to rely on many meds: Lomotil, Codeine Sulfate, Percocet or Vicodin, I go back and forth between diarrhea and constipation . . . I am never comfortable unless I go for the whole day without eating.

Can you please answer these questions for me:

1. How are you feeling now? 

2. Are you on many meds at this time? 

3. How is your appetite now, compared to before this most recent surgery?

4. Does your bag fill up pretty much continuously?  How often do you have to change it?

5. What other changes have you noticed?

I am praying that one of your doctors extends your sick leave; you need more time to heal and recover!

Thanks for your time!

Gilda

I am not sure if everyone saw my other post where I mentioned that i went and visited Lizzie a couple of weeks ago.  I am from Michigan, originally and I usually go back to G.R. each summer to visit my elderly parents.  I was very glad to finally meet Lizzie, in person.  She looked really good but I know she has been thru hell and it's just not fair!  I sure hope some brilliant doctor can help her, and soon!  I know we are all praying for her daily.

Posted 8/3/2010 4:10 AM (GMT 0)
I can't believe Lizzie is back in the hospital :( She needs a break!

I went camping this weekend.. left my Miralax in the car and figured I could go a day or so without it. Saturday I drank some "Bota wine" or something - AKA fancier wine in a box (not recommended even for camping). We swam in the river and hiked up and down from our campsite. The next morning I felt like I needed to have a bowel movement (like one that I could do without the assistance of enemas). I went out into the woods and actually went! Not sure if it was from the extra alcohol, exercise or what. Or lack of stress! smilewinkgrin

Today I started back on my Miralax but didn't get to it until later in the day. I started feeling the pressure and my stool is rock solid and it was super nauseating/painful. I gave up and took a Zofran.

I thought my biofeedback was helping some.. but it seems to only help if I'm using Miralax everyday with at least one dose. Just wish it didn't give me so much gas!

coastfishin - sorry to hear about another major surgery. That has to be super tough.

Val - it's funny you mention McDonald's hamburgers. When I was in the hospital for terminal ileitis and couldn't eat for 4 days all I wanted was "comfort food." They were taking over an hour to get my food and I was SO irritable. My mom left to go to the hospital McDonald's and came back with a cheeseburger (of course they showed up with my food as I was halfway through). After I ate it she was so excited because it was the first time I smiled in days. I didn't have any surgery then so I'd be careful for awhile.

Allie - are you getting electrical stimulation? manual? or just doing the exercises and watching the screen? The first time she did manual stimulation I was so uncomfortable during and after it. Every time I come in my resting rate is higher than the previous week but I go down considerably after more stimulation. She's looking for a lower rate when I come in the next time. I have a 'roid so doing exercises hasn't been too comfortable. mad

Rosemary - you are so brave to be out on the big blue wet thing without hospitals tongue
Posted 8/3/2010 6:52 PM (GMT 0)
hi Gilda, i read your post and was so sorry to hear you're still struggling so hard. it is so great you had the chance to visit Lizzie, i'm sure you were both so thrilled to meet each other :) i feel so bad for her and hope and pray she finally gets some peace and quiet, that her drs finally find a solution for her once and for all to all her problems. the way you describe your life right now, this is not quality of life at all. as hard decision as it is, i think your thinking is wise considering an ileostomy. i can honestly say that my quality of life has improved 100 times better than before the ileostomy. of course, i'm only at an early stage post op and with motility problems like mine - slow small intestine as well, only time will tell if this surgery is a success, it's just too early to know and only after 6 mons - year will i be able to know if it has succeed. cause just like with the colectomy, at the first 2-3 mons things were flowing wonderfully, but gradually i reached to a point were i was before the colectomy - no spontenous bms and had to work on it real hard to have a bm. i hope the stoma will keep working the way it does now and won't stop at some point in the future, cause then i'd be totally helpless, there will be nothing else to offer me to solve it, so as you can see, i still have the fear of being terribly constipated again. but for you it's different, you have the opposite problem and i believe that with the ileostomy you'll get peace of mind, you'll be free and won't have to be in the b/r for too much time, it will give you better quality of life. but you'll have to be careful with the excessive output, cause w/o the rectum it can be even faster for you, so you'll have to consult with your dr how to be prepared for that. so to your questions: 1. i feel great! 2. i'm not on ANY med, except for fresh squized pear juice every morning, the only thing that keeps me from getting repieted blockages. 3. oh my appetite is much better now, i can eat better w/o cramping and getting a blockage every few days. i can eat much more variety of foods now, like wheat products, i coundn't eat it before the ileo op and now i can with no prob. and in general, i can eat a full meal and not just tiny ones. it's just feels really great to be able to eat a full meal :) 4. if you eat in regular hours, the stoma will also work in regular hours. for me its like: when i get up in the morning i change the bag (usually not much in there, maybe 200 ml + lots of air lol, i always have lots of air coming out during the night), then i drink a glas of water, tomato juice and pear juice, eat breakfast, that releases about 400 ml, i empty that and then half hour later have about 200-300 ml more of watery stools. then the stoma is quiet and stays nonactive untill i eat something. the minute i eat, i get more 200-300 ml out, this time it's very thick and sticky, so i change the bag again, then again after dinner and once again before i go to bed. each time it contains about 200 ml. all of this flow is only b/c of the pear juice, w/o it, i will have to change the bag maybe twice a day only and each time it will be very little. i also don't have to get up during the night. i change it before bed time, which is usually at 10-11 pm, then when i get up at around 6 am i again have only about 200-300 ml. but for you it will be very different, you'll probably have to get up during the night to empty the bag. 5. what other changes..?? hmmmm.... i'm not sure, only that i feel good, no cramping, bloating, abd pain - all are gone and things just flow better AND i don't have to spend SO MUCH TIME in the b/r anymore :) :) if you have any other questionls, pls don't hesitate to ask. BEST WISHES and keep us informed.
Posted 8/3/2010 7:54 PM (GMT 0)
Wow, just checking in and so much going on.  Poor poor Lizzie.   When will this ever end for her?  I can't believe she's still having so many issues.  Bless her heart!

Hodaya,

I'm so glad you're doing well.  I can only imagine how much better you're feeling with your ileostomy.  It sounds like you're adjusting really well!  I'm so glad, and so glad you're able to eat more now.  I hope and pray you continue to do well...sounds like you definitely made the right decision!

Snuggle,

Refresh my  memory....you haven't had surgery, have you?  Are you able to go ok with miralax?  Even after a total colectomy, I rely on miralax daily (twice most days) and without it I'd be miserable.  With it, I manage and have lots of good days and some not perfect...but so very much better than before surgery.  I never had any luck with biofeedback.  I've pretty much figured out a plan that works best for me...I take miralax mixed with a little metamucil in the morning, and drink my coolatta, and that cleans me out pretty well.  Around 11 am I take one lomotil, and then I eat a small amount during the day, and a normal dinner.  If I take the lomotil I don't get the pressure of feeling like I have to go but not being able to during the day.  I think it keeps the stool saved up in the small intestine instead of letting it get to the rectum where I have trouble getting it out!!.  After dinner I usually have a small BM without any miralax, but I usually take miralax and go a few times before bed.  Not perfect, but manageable.

Gilda,

So sorry you have D so badly after surgery.  That was my greatest fear, and of course the opposite happened for me.  One lomotil will slow me down for hours, so I can't imagine how horrible it must be for you to have to go constantly.  What does your doctor say about an ileostomy?  Sounds like Hodaya has answered alot of good questions.

Val...sounds like you're doing great.  Take it easy though....sometimes you feel good but you still need to rest your body!

Jen,

Glad you're doing well.  Sorry about the additional surgery, but glad you can buy yourself a little time.  I had an NG tube put in before surgery...I insisted because I'm a baby and I did not want it inserted while I was awake.  I kept that sucker for 5 days....my surgeon was getting irritated and even asked if I planned on taking it home with me...but I did not want it taken out too soon!!

Will write more later.....gotta run!

Janie -

I haven't had any surgery yet. Miralax only helpens soften my stool but it doesn't help me "go" I still have to use enemas on a daily basis. Yesterday I tried 3 and knew I wasn't getting very far. Blah!

Haven't been feeling very good today.. looking ready for 5PM :)
Posted 8/3/2010 9:16 PM (GMT 0)
Janie, good to hear from you friend, and also you Jen! yep i'm happy with my decision. Jen, i'm sure you're so sick of surgeries and hospitals, ME TOO!! i'm sorry you have to have more surgery, lets hope it all goes as smooth as possible with no complications and you're outta there. snuggle, where are you at in the proccess? are you in the testing stage? awaiting a surgoen's appt? hope you're holding on.
Posted 8/3/2010 9:22 PM (GMT 0)
I'm currently doing Biofeedback. Week 4 this Thursday. Done all the tests possible???? Biofeedback hasn't helped much, but I feel I'm less tight sometimes.

Don't think it'll be the answer to my problem :(
Posted 8/3/2010 9:54 PM (GMT 0)
My ablation and D&C is scheduled for next Friday the 13th. YIKES! Good thing I am not too superstitious....lol Hopefully this will makes things better, and I will avoid a hysterectomy for awhile. I am just now feeling like things with my total colectomy are good and don't want to do anything to mess that up. I am so sorry some of you guys are either going too much after surgery or still need miralax. I occassionally take Miralax but that is usually because I have taken a couple of immodium when I have an all day meeting and going to the bathroom is not convenient. I have to take the Miralax to counteract the immodium...lol..but then things usually even out and get back to normal the next day.

I still avoid things like raw veggies, broccoli, corn, nuts, seeds, and all salads. I think that helps. I do miss salads though.

Jen
Posted 8/3/2010 11:04 PM (GMT 0)
LOL @ Janie getting attached to the GI tube. Seriously, after all I've read about what it's like to have one inserted while you're awake, I don't blame you! I asked about one before my surgery but the surgeon shook his head decisively. Turns out he was right. Still need to talk to him about leaving the entire sigmoid. My appointment is on Friday.

Hodaya - It's wonderful that you are happy with your decision! Have you got the routine down now?

Jen - I know that you will be glad when your surgery is over. Please keep us updated. How long ago did you have your total colectomy? Wondering how long you have to watch your diet.

Okay, the more I go through the stupider I feel. I gotta ask you ladies who have had surgery: Does it sound and feel like waves of juices and/or intestines swash from side to side when you are lying down and turn over? Or is it just me? And it is very painful too.

This morning I ended up working from home for over four hours. The school district loaned me a laptop with remote administrator on it so I actually have access to my work computer from home. But it really wore me out and I was in lots of muscular pain for several hours afterward. I was thinking about going back to work on Monday, less than two weeks after surgery, and still may depending on my progress over the next few days.
