I am almost three years post op and also at 6.5 cc's. I still throw up a lot, and get the "stuck in the throat" feeling. My scale has stopped going down because my metabolism is shot right now. I can't seem to eat soft foods at all, so I have turned to crackers and nacho chips just to get a full feeling, which usually doesn't take long. In one day I can eat a handful of crackers and a handful of chips and that is it, putting my body in survival mode and holding onto water and weight. I know I need to get the books back out and start with the pre-op diet, that will start to help.
