I'll ask about the gabapentin in the morning. Hydrocodone is working but the constipation is a problem with it.

Another thing is the hair loss, which I did not think was going to happen, but ive been losing quite a bit the last 3 days. I have asian long hair, so i can see the bundles of strands just pulling out brushing..its become my new obsession and depression. Anyone else have hair loss? Please tell me that it was minor and not overall hair loss. Just venting. It will grow back, is my mantra.

Also, update on food. Now I'm on liquid/slimy/pudding like texture foods. No spicy foods at all. Which is weird. I can't taste them anyway, but they can burn like a volcano. I'm Korean, so I found out that I can eat seaweed soup, and strangely enough, cereal with milk is ok. Anything in the pudding and ice cream family is tolerated. But cannot eat mashed potatoes or Mac n cheese? Strange to say the least. Have lost approximately 9 lbs this week. Full tally in the morning..to which the doctor will get mad with me for not eating enough, but even though I eat, too much and I vomit. I've got a lot of weight to play with as I was 267 lbs when I began, now as of last Friday I'm 248. So they are not too concerted with loss, so much as getting enough nutrients and liquid.

Still here and now just sort of kicking!!
