Wish me luck, I am going in tomorrow for an EGD to see if I have a stricture. Hopefully they find something and can fix it so I can get more solid food in!

Best of luck! Sorry you have to go through this, but strictures are fixable! I'm battling a kink and twist right now (kink fixed with endoscopy, but twist still hanging on...) Even if it takes more aggressive treatment, any improvement will be a relief for you.

Good luck!

How far out are you? Maybe the egd will straighten it out for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed! Keep us posted.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I had surgery May 28th. SW 244, current weight 197. I am just struggling with getting enough Protein and eating more solid foods. I am living on cottage cheese, string cheese, yogurt and fish.

No stricture thank goodness. MD said to just give it time, that everything looked good. Interestingly, I got to see my new tummy and the incision line. Makes me appreciate the magnitude of what I had done and how truly amazingly quick our bodies recover! It is no joke in there!

      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.
