Question:
Why now? 2 months post-op and NOW having a difficult time with foods.

I have eaten chicken, fish, potatoes...since I was 1 month post-op. At 2 months now I am limited to mostly soft foods, soups, cereals, mashed potatoes and the like. Everything else is painful when it reaches the pouch. Is this normal..any suggestions?    — Elizabeth P. (posted on August 26, 2002)

You could have some adhesions ( a type of scar tissue) causing problems. Talk to your doc.

Whenever I have stomach problems I go back to a liquid diet for 2-3 days. Then prueeded<sp> 2-3 days then re introduce food 1 new item at a meal. If it doesn't feel good then don't eat that item for 1 week. Be sure that you get your water and protien in. It ALWAYS works for me. Good Lux

Check with your doctor-you may have a stricture forming or even a stomach ulcer starting...
