This is getting old. I’ve having increasing trouble with eating everything, but especially protein. Spicy is out. Most sweets are not cutting it. I’m barfing in the middle of the night a couple of nights/week (usually when my stomach is essentially empty), and yesterday after a half glass of milk and vanilla wafers (that was gross). I feel like food is not going down into my esophagus easily.
I had an upper endoscopy last June and except for chronic gastritis, it was OK. I take protonix 2x/day. I rarely drink and I stopped smoking at all.
But more and more of the time, I’m slightly to more than a little nauseated, especially after eating part of a meal. I get full really quickly. And I’m having issues with proteins.
I had my annual retinal exam this afternoon. It’s a long appointment, so I sent Charles home until I was done, and it was dinner time when I was done, so I suggested stopping at Red Lobster. I ordered the two lobster special, plus an extra grilled one to take home. I was starving when I got there, had about 1/3 cup of Charles ‘ lobster bisque, one small stuffed mushroom, half a small Caesar salad, half a cheesy biscuit, and a couple of bites of lobster and I was DONE. Like nearly pukey done. I didn’t eat 1/5th of what I ordered.
Over the course of the evening after we got home around 7, I ate the baked potato, some Cherry Garcia, one half of one little lobster tail with butter, one cheesy roll and the leftover salad - over the course of 5 hours.
I’m not feeling great most of the time, which sucks.
I see the liver specialist tomorrow for a follow up. My lab from January were excellent, so I don’t think we have much to discuss.
I don’t know if there is something wrong (family hx of stomach cancer; NASH), or just weird food aversions I have no idea why I’m experiencing. I’ve had very few issues up until now (almost 15 years out).

a surgical option. Recently the PPI i've been taking, 2X's a day, is not doing its job. Next up Dexalent (sp).
