I had surgery 9-29-14. I still can't eat meat. I am not sure if it is mental or physical. I had an upper gi. No stricture. I am having an endoscopy next Friday. I can only eat salads at restaurants. I can't do any bread, I get dumping or throw up. I am on a very limited diet. It sucks. I don't get sick from candy or cookies. I am so mad. My md said everyone is different. It makes me mad. I love chocolate and cookies.
