Revision from Jejunal Ileal bypass to RNY on 1/9/08, still in pain ?

I am about 7wks out from a open revision of Jejuneal Ileal bypass to RNY. I seem to be doing OK except for two problems. I am having a lot of trouble eating, nothing tastes good and I am still only able to eat only about 1 1/2 Tbs of food TOTAL per meal (even though my stomach is twice the normal size of a reg. RNY). Also for the last 3 weeks I have intestinal cramping every night for about 4 hours. My Dr. has put me on stool softeners which has helped some what but I am still in pain. It seems that my new intestines are having trouble handling "normal" stool. With my previous intestinal bypass I was in a constant state of diarrhea. Does anyone have any suggestions??
