So the doctor says I'm not eating enough

So basically he's saying my stomach is empty and has nothing to digest and it's making my ulcer worse.

So he put me on sucralfate 3 times a day along with the Omeprazole in the morning and famotidine at night

But the big thing is I have to eat more. Easier said than done. Joel said he's not leaving for work until I eat breakfast and is going to text me or call me during lunch to make sure I at least drink a protein shake.
My daughter said she's going to text me as well.

I really feel stupid. I mean I just need to eat but I don't. I feel hungry but I ignore it and forget about it.

Joel said if that doesn't work he's getting the boys phones so they can start texting me as well

Ugh this is so frustrating

Stop smoking.

@SomeMichGuy if that was something I needed to do my doctor would tell me to stop

@Cigarguy101 If he has not done so, he should lose his license.

Stopping smoking not only decreases your chance of getting all kinds of things, your taste is restored.

Most people who stop smoking discover this amazing stuff called "food" and are amazed at how good it tastes. Weight gain is a typical result.

@SomeMichGuy me having one cigar a day has nothing to do with why I don't eat.

@SomeMichGuy thank you for your concern. I don't think I had a knee jerk reaction to what you said. I have struggled with this since I was a child and I didn't start having a cigar until I was an adult maybe around 25 or so. I don't eat because of PTSD from abuse I had as a child and teenager. It has nothing to do with the taste of food.

@Cigarguy101 I understand.

Again, not my point at all.

Many people who stop smoking have their tastebuds revive. Food tastes amazing.

Perhaps having food have the taste equivalent of technicolor would help you eat.

You actually don't know that it wouldn't.

@SomeMichGuy you are right I don't know for sure. But giving up my one cigar a day isn't something I'm not willing to do right now. It's my one calm during the day that I look forward to. It's when my mind is quiet and my tics and outbursts are the calmest. I need that part of my day. I need that calm
