Hi everyone. I had my RNY 1/4/16. My doctor advanced me to a regular diet Feb 16th.

I have finally figured out how much to eat and knowing when one more bite will bite me back. At least most of the time I do. The last few weeks I am having issues when I start drinking liquids 1/2 to 1 hour after a meal. It causes pain and vomiting a lot of the time. I know that I am chewing good (you can tell when it comes back out). Sometimes there seems to be no ryhme or reason as to it beign WHAT I ate. One day I do eggs just fine, but the next they don't move on through.

I backed down to soft foods and purees, and today has been ok. But this did actually happen once with a SF fudgcicle. Is this normal for my stage?

You had surgery last year and this is happening?

Sorry I had surgery 1/4/17. So I am a little over 2 months out.

I would call your doctor. I had a similar issue that got to the point where I couldn't keep anything down. I ended up in the ER and was admitted. The next day I had an EGD and it turned out the scar tissue at my surgical site had almost completely closed my esophagus. They had to dilate it for me. My Dr said this is fairly common after surgery for some individuals. I'm doing much better now. My surgery was on 2/9/2017.

Definitely call your doctor. I would continue on the soft foods for 3-4 weeks. I say this because I wasn't release to regular food till 3 months after surgery and I didn't have any issues. All the best to you!!!
