For the past day and a half everytime I eat or drink anything I have some pretty good pain.  At first I thought I had eaten a little two much and it would pass.  It is finally starting to get a little bit better.   I was told that when first out of surgery one doesn't really feel full as the nerves and all had been cut and that  was the reason for measuring everything in the beginning.   Is it the nerves are healing and now I am really feeling how it feels when something goes down?

I have no idea but I do know I have to measure everything.  For a few days,  I would just put a few tablespoons into a bowl and call it a day.   After the pain etc, I am back to measuring everything, make sure I eat slow and do little bites.  I hope it gets better for you!

I was in an OH room and found out that more than likely it was like a dumping syndrome due to the fat in avocados.   The bites Cuz I love them.   I too measure everything I eat.

I had avacado yesterday and it did not agree with me.  I think it is the only thing so far I have dumped on.

I had pain, and when I refused to eat meat, they had me examined, adn it was a stricture.

but the doctor said it could have been an ulcer, so they had to examine things.

I now have only fullness. 


I thought my pain was "dumping" but I read that dumping coincides with diarrhea. So I was confused.

I was also told there are not that many nerves, and the surgery does not hurt, therefore, as to nerves.

I would see the doctor.
