popcorn woes

I ate some popcorn and have not been able to eat more than 2-3 bites since... it's been 4 days now.... do you think the popcorn is balled up in my stomach? I just feel ill when I eat. I can drink though.... Any input? Yikes! pam

check with your Dr. you might have a stricture which may or may not have anything to do with the popcorn. It should be dissolved by now. mel

Hey mel! I'm 3 1/2 months out, isn't that late for a stricture? I will call my surgeon tomorrow. Thanks! Pam

Pam, strictures can occur at any time, trust me I had 4 of them and the last one was at 6mths out....so call you doc, just to make sure...Good Luck.......Pam

Pam I have never had a stricture..... I have not even eaten 'real' food yet..... BUT I surely do feel bad for you...... Please take care of yourself and let us know when you know what's going on and it has been fixed. {{{{{{Pam}}}}}}} Take care of yourself. hugs, Barbara

Hi Pam, I have ate popcorn since I had my surgery over a year ago with no problem, I have always added melted cheese to it to give me the protein I need, but I have never had any problems at all with eating it......I"m a sucker for popcorn w/ cheese!! LOL!! So I don't think its balled up in your stomach...at least it never balled up in mine! You could have a stricture as others have suggested, but I don't think your problems are popcorn related!!
