You need to call your surgeon ASAP!!!! If you can't even keep liquids down, dehydration can set in quickly!!!  Besides this if you can't eat food at all and your 4 weeks out, you need to get back in to see your surgeron ASAP.  You may have a stricture, ot something else going on.  This is the only advice I can give you, CALL YOUR SURGEON!!!!!!

Keep us posted on what happens, praying for you!! Lucy

Yep!  CALL SURGEON!!  Also, if you are now uping liquids you might just want to go to Urgent Care to get liquids(IV) to prevent dehydration.  There should be a help number on your release from hospital papers!  CALL!!!  Keep us posted!  Prayers being said for you!

Yes to everything everyone suggested, but also DEMAND an endoscopy - not just an upper GI.  A stricture is where the intestines and your new pouch join, and sometimes scar tissue form and the opening get restricted.

Please spay and neuter your pets!

Everyone is right...see your doctor immediately. You don't want to dehyfdrate and this is not normal. Let us know what you find out......good luck. Hugs, connie d
