At 2 weeks post op I started having horrible nausea. By week 3 I could barely keep Water down. I was so worried that I was being a whiner that I waited until that 3rd week to call my doctor. It turned out I had stricture. Yesterday I had an EGD and got it stretched. I felt awesome last night. I had eggdrop Soup with not even a bit of nausea. Today I woke up feeling good had about a 1/4 cup of soup and felt nauseated again. Also I'm getting nauseated by water again. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has anyone had a stricture come back quickly?

Yes! I had a stricture about 3 weeks out. Got so bad with not keeping liquids down even. Was soo extremely dehydrated they couldn't even draw blood for labs. Stuck me 9 times to find a vein for an IV they had to numb my arms after stick number 3. Lol had an emergency EGD, felt great after. Except they tore my throat up during it. But, 3 days later I couldn't keep anything down at all again. Had another one done. I've been able to keep things down now. It just hurts to swallow liquids. Feels like a rock. But, she said the opening was still small so she scheduled me for a 3rd EGD July 11th. I'm 8 weeks out total now.

      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.
