Hello

Yes I am 18month post op and I still having issue eating. Sometimes I can eat and sometimes I vomit. It's hard at times. Also one day I can eat something and following day I can't eat the same thing. It will get better.

I have problems too but I think the problems I have with eating are my fault. Yesterday I had chicken nuggets and could only eat 1 and a half pieces. The day before that I ate something and got sick. I'm only 10 weeks out so.... It all depends on what my pouch decides to keep down. It could be anything that I get sick from but it doesn't happen as much as it did before.

I'm 5 months out and I really was struggling eating solid food, had a endoscope on Wednesday and it showed that I had a structure. We are meant to have a 3cm gap for our food to go down and mine was 8mm they even struggled to get the scope through to stretch it. They stretched it to 12mm and I have to go back in 2 weeks for them to stretch it again. Keep an eye on your eating and if you continue to struggle I would suggest to get back in touch with your consultant. Good luck.

I was just diagnosed with a stricture at 4 weeks out and am having my third endoscopy with dilation this Thursday. I was having trouble keeping food and Water down, but it was totally hit or miss until all of a sudden everything made me sick. Definitely worth getting checked out.

For those of you who had the balloon dilation, do you have this at the doctor's office? Did you have the endoscopy first (same day)?

I had to have it scheduled at a surgicenter. I'm going for my fourth dilation tomorrow, the dr is hoping that this one will be the last.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
