Hi I am a month post op also, I was eating pretty good, but now I can't east without throwing up. My Dr said to stay on liquids for a few more days. He said I was in the window of misery (boy, you ain't lying!!!!) Hope you feel better soon and good luck!!!

If you are actually getting nausiated instead or in addition to throwing up then it could be a stricture or an ulcer. So you really need to talk to your doc about this. A friend of mine waited 3 months to tell her doctor and she has to go in to have a third endoscopy soon. Good luck!

Since you are 4 weeks out I concur with Jennifer in that you are in prime time for a stricture. It's an easy fix, so don't delay too long in chasing it down. If they tell you that you are eating too fast, eating too much or eating the wrong things and you KNOW you are not (you could eat that last week!), please pursue it AT ONCE!

Well, no one so far has asked what you are eating, if you are chewing your food completely or how much and how fast you are eating. If you eat too much or too fast, you will get nauseated. If you don't chew completely then you will have some food get stuck. If you are trying to advance your foods too fast, then you will get nauseated. Sure you could have a stricture, but let's start with the simple stuff first....

You are still healing; you might be eating too quick; you might be introducing things too early. Stick to things that make you feel OK - liquids. I know it sucks but I would rather feel good that crappy. At a month out - food was still a bit precarious.
