Why is a 9mm anastomosis not big enough?

Hi all. I've been searching the library & am very confused. I had lap RNY on 9/17 & had not been able to move past liquids. In fact, I vomit almost everything. I had an endoscopy on 10/7 -- my "pinhole" anastomosis was dilated to 9mm, but the doc told me that I'd need at least 1 more procedure. I thought that 9mm was pretty good (that's what the library entries suggest), but I am still vomiting everything ecxept Crystal Lite. I doubt that I'm getting 100 calories/day, and I'm sure that I'm not getting any protein. Even Isopure ZeroCarb comes up (just too rich?). Shouldn't I feel a little better? Shouldn't I be less dehydrated? Why must I wait 10-14 days for the 2nd procedure? Will I EVER get better? (By the way, I've only lost 14 pounds in 22 days!)
