I had my surgery on 03/15/12 and I am starting to get where everything I eat is making me sick. I have not thrown up but twice but everytime I eat my stomach cramps like it feels like I have not have food in days (that is the only way I can describe it). I can only get between 8-20 ounces of drink down a day and still on soft foods because last week was the week to start fish and it seems that everything I eat solid makes me cramp as soon as it goes down. I am chewing my food like mush so I don't understand.  Any suggestions????

I am miserable and need advice!!

it may be in the preparation of the meal? how are you making your foods? i had that type of reaction when i would try and eat something made with oils of any type. also make sure that you are not drinking your liquids with your meal. wait a few minutes after eating then take your liquids, if you take your liquids at the same time you are causing your meals to go quickly through your pouch and into your intestines, and not giving yourself enough time to have the feeling full effect.

I had this happen and was feeling weak. I went to Dr. and needed to go in for fluids and they stretched my opening by doing an edoscopy. That tiny bit they stretched it made things go down and I did not feel sick from it. I am five years out and had no other problems since. I still have to be aware of not eating too fast or too much, but I have kept off 100 lbs. YEAH!!!!!!!!

Good luck.
