Chronic small bowel obstruction from adhesions

Would you believe the gastros given to me to call refuse to see me? Say I need to find one who would be willing to see me in the hospital should I have to go back in. I was shocked! So now I have an appointment with my old one, so we will see how that goes. My primary also thinks I should also see a colo-rectal surgical specialist, and not just the general surgeon, so we will see what the gastro says tomorrow.
Advanced my diet to full liquids, so I was able to eat some cream of chicken soup last night and today have gotten down a high protein Boost. If I can get close to a good number of injested calories, I can get off the TPN.

I know that those Boost products can be tough to get down. When I was trying to get protein in I used some powdered Cashew butter, put it in whatever things I could tolerate it in. How about spoonfuls of PB, or Instant Breaktast with the nut butters added in. Or be sure to add powdered milk to milk, again, if you can stand it.
How bizarre that the GI doc won't see you. I mean most hospitals have their own specialists, and like you said, you would need a Colo-rectal surgeon anyway. Geeze, it never ends. I hope your old GI guy is better this time around. Sometimes they get the message and behave more professionally. Good luck... gp
