Mam, I have been reading your post for a while and also suffer with strictures. Did they tell you back to liquids after scoping? Then puréed...then soft foods...etc? I do alot of soup...egg drop, hot and sour soup...and fage greek yogurt...pretty much daily. Can do seafood, no left overs of anything...(they are too dry and get stuck) no pills...no real carbs, ie potatoes bread or rice. This time has been mostly successful, they dilated me to 15mm. Protein Shakes as needed...

They only said wait 24 hours before eating again. No liquid or soft food.

I thought you had a stricture, so in that case the things that you vomited previously should not cause it this time (or at the least might not) because what I heard from my friend with the same issue, is that everything made him throw up. He was also told to go back to liquids and move up through the stages (much more quickly though then after surgery) to reintroduce foods to his pouch. Perhaps you might try that and do a stage for a couple days then move up a stage. liquid, pureed, etc... But soon you should be able to tolrerate a lot more food than when you were dealing with the stircture. Also my friend had to have the stretch done 3 times before he was back to normal and could eat without vomiting.

Best of luck!! It will all go up from here, right?

It looks like now I'm able to eat anything & everything except chicken Lolz.. Damn you chicken!!! I try spagetti but didn't like the taste didn't eat. I had a slice if pizza from papa John since I was really hungry & we went to the beach family time. Omg! That pizza taste so good. It had double extra cheese. Wasn't greasy or oily. I had a Celeste 1/2 today for lunch. Thus won't be an everyday thing. So far I'm doing really good. Had grill cheese 1/2 yesterday. Less then 1/4 boars head ham. I'm beginning to love it now surgery. I'm going to be careful with everything though since I'm still new not 3 months yet.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
