Brenda:
thank you for the update. your diet sounds very similar to mine - looots of bread/toast and shakes - main thing I eat. Can you eat stewed fruit (boiled and then pureed) - I find that a "nice treat" and sometimes warm it up and have it with frozen yogurt - very delish (since we cannot enjoy much!). that is a procedure I would consider if my condition deteriorates further. I am thankful right now I can eat what I can eat. Please let me know how you do once you recover. They did that procedure endoscopically - right? Did you have the botox injections into the pyloric valve first - to see if it was going to work? Just wondering .... Did your GP happen "all of a sudden" or did it happen gradually over many years? that was my original question - I am trying to find out how it progresses (or if it does). I definitely think mine is worsening. Another question - how many hours before you lay down to go to bed at night do you stop eating? that is one of my main issues. I cannot eat anything after 2 p.m. other than liquid otherwise the minute I lay down I get pain and nausea. Also - did you go to a specialty center to get the surgery done and if so where? Sorry for all the questions but I am trying to get some answers here and not many people seem to answer the questions I have....
