Hello all.
I don't know what the true answer is to that question,
but I had the same issues where I was gaining weight
like crazy, yet hardly ate and was sick all the time.
Yes, I was in pain alot and had several adhesion
complications. After my last surgery with 2 bowel
resections in October 2004, I lost almost 50 pounds
to date. Unfortunately though, my pain has actually
INCREASED, and I pretty much either vomit or have
diarhea several times a day. Now, I don't know if
something went wrong. I've had multiple tests since
the surgery to try and figure out why I am like
this, and everything points to adhesions...already!
It's very frustrating. The only things I can say
have helped me where I notice improvement is light
to moderate exercise at least 3 times a week,
trying to avoid gassy foods and dairy, and I stopped
drinking coffee. Switching to tea has made a huge
difference. I don't know if it's the lack of
caffiene or what...but it's helped me alot.
So...I've been on both sides of the coin there,
and while I had alot of pain when I was heavier,
I unfortunately have more pain now. Coincidence?
Bad surgery? Who knows!
Hugs and best of luck,
Jeanne
