3 months out...

It's weird, today I've had an egg and a piece of turkey bacon just a bit ago. Went down fine. I think I just have random "episodes." Could this still be stricture?

Yes, it could still be a stricture. The exact same thing happened to me and happened for about 6 weeks before I hit the point that I couldn't keep anything down. I had eaten peanuts and not chewed well enough and apparently peanuts do not digest very well, so a tiny piece got stuck in that tiny hole and then even once I got it out, everything was too irritated for me to do anything else. Breakfast always went ok but then it seemed that everything I added to it (even soup) just keep stacking up and filling up into my esophagus until I had to get it out. Once I finally could get everything back out, I felt totally fine. By the time I went to ER worried about dehydration, I felt perfectly fine. CT Scan found nothing. They sent me home. 2 days later I was getting the dilation. BUT if that is what it is, don't be scared. It is a fairly easy fix for an experienced surgeon or GI specialist.

I had mines Aug 18th and just git to the point we're I could keep food down when I asked my doctor she said that my stomach may not have been ready for solid foods yet and to not worry an stay on soft an mushy an to slowly keep trying to eat solids so now it's been like 2 weeks were I'm eating solids and somethings I can only take a few bites and full then feel the need to up chuck and other foods stay down fine.... I started at 327 and im at 283 I'm at a stand still it's been 2 weeks but I'm thinking it's because I'm finely eating solids. I'm going to start lightly working out to see if that moves along the stand still but can't do much excercise do to back issues. I'm happy with the bypass so far I honestly thought I was going to loose weight way to fast like my father an cousin who look like a size 0. I first had the sleeve and loved it but later had complications do to another doctors error and almost died but this new surgeon said i had to have the bypass to salvage my stomach an feel better, Thank God for his grace and Mercy I am thankful for a second chance.....

      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.
