ALL MY FOOD STAYED DOWN!!!!

I didn't know this was a possibility post-op, for the first time since starting to eat solid food at every meal I had ALL my meals stay down!!! Eggs which have always given me a hard time, chili, french toast (with the eggs), ¼ of a sandwich, 2 pieces of maple turkey sausage (breakfast variety) and ½ cup of peaches... granted, this is over the course of an entire day, but it's my first puke free day since all solid eating... it's amazing! It also didn't hurt to eat for the first time since surgery! Drinking has returned to being overly easy and I can now drink 8 oz in half an hour again (I am weird this way they said, but they don't mind as long as it's water and not juice) and food didn't hurt going down!!! I felt full, not pain, I wasn't hurting after one bite, actually ate the 2 sausage links!!! Okay, this might not seem like much to some of you, but with this particular problem, it's amazing to me. I'm already feeling so much better it's wonderful. Now, getting back on track and my nutrients back on track after a week of malnutrition and dehydration and my energy level should return, my body should get out of reserves mode, and I should be back on the weight loss boat! WOO HOO!!! HUGS to all, thanks for your prayers! Rachel

So glad to hear you are doing better. Keep up the good work. Ellen

Told ya!!! That's the thing with strictures, If they get the streaching right, there's immediate relief! Glad it worked.
