That is good news! How far out are you from surgery? If you continue to vomit you might want to let your surgeon know.

JennyBeth, could you share what your doctor did for your stricture or what you did to overcome that so others will know?

I had a upper endoscopy done last Thursday and my surgeon did a dialation of my esophagus with a balloon. However, by Saturday my throat closed back up! So since I can't eat and my Fluid intake was very low (I vomited up anything other than plain Water and even that I could only take very small sips) my surgeon admitted me to the hospital yesterday to rehydrate me and today he will be doing another upper endoscopy with stent placement. It's been a very uncomfortable and frustrating process. I really like my surgeon and I trust him completely. I just want to feel better so I can eat again! I wasn't prepared for this setback so it's been difficult, but I'm ready to be well! When my stricture started I thought my PPI was no longer working and food felt "stuck", but then it soon became where I vomited frequently after eating until I could no longer eat or swallow meds. That's why I encourage anyone who starts vomiting regularly to contact their surgeon right away! I waited thinking it was "normal" and it's been 2 weeks of a lot of discomfort so DON'T wait!

I am 4 weeks out. I think i have just been eating too much and you know how that goes. I take one bite too much and I'm throwing up. It is such a game of trial and error.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
