Hi Dawnya, I had a similar thing happen, and called my Surgeon's office. Come to find out, my opening was tightening and they used an endoscope to balloon it open. Please call your doctor. By the way, the scope part DOES NOT HURT. Good Luck, Karan

I see that other people told you to contact your doctor, which is very good advice. But when I was only a few months out, I all of a sudden had a TERRIBLE period of time when I could not eat any meat at all, everything made me want to vomit it up, and I was perfectly miserable for weeks on end. Finally, somehow, it just got better. Sometimes certain foods in the beginning that don't work will work later for you. But you should definitely check with your doctor on this.
