help mii with dis

I have only lost 5 lbs since surgery (almost 3 weeks ago) I'm about ready to start starving myself just so I can lose a freaking pound! lol

Well the other day I thought that food was feeling really stuck but I was not vomiting.  So I thought that it might be just me and I was eating too fast or not chewing good enough.  After a day or so of that I decided to call the doctor.  He suggested I try full liquids to see how it went and they still felt a little stuck so I was scheduled for an endoscopy this morning to see if I had a stricture.

It wasn't really that bad.  It turned out I did have a stricture.  I was at 8 and dialated it to 15.  I am on popsicles and ice chips today, stage 1 tomorrow, stage 2 the day after that then I can get back slowly to what I was eating. 

So all in all not that big of a deal.  Anyone else have a stricture or think they are experiencing symptoms?

I got bold and had a teaspoon or so of deli sliced turkey..It went down fine and tasted wonderful.   I am ack on liquids today but boy was that nice...I just sucked every bit of flavor out of it until it was no more...yum.
Getting sick of sweet milk shake things for sure...but I will hang in for another week with them...

My hubby and Mom had deli turkey sandwiches and the stuff I don't like... but I craved a bite of something with salt and gave in to the turkey later in the evening.   And I know God will forgive me for one fully enjoyed TEASPOONFUL...

20 pounds in essentially 2 weeks....YOU GO Girl... woo hoo...I am on the same course and amazed...
Hey come down to the cape this summer and we can go swimming!!! ( I won't look at your mud flaps if you won't look at mine ...!

I'm still on clear liquids, so my dinner consisted of:

a quarter cup of broth
SF Jello
water, water, water
