It's like I'm back at the beginning again...

 I am just over four weeks post op and I am having trouble getting liquids, let alone food, down. My surgeon suggested that perhaps I ate something that caused my stomach to swell again and I'm stuck with drinking my meals. Just when I thought I was two steps ahead, I'm sent backwards three. I've also upped my Prilosec to twice a day because I have been dealing with some nausea on and off. Hopefully this phase will pass and I'll be back to solid foods again soon!

Anyone else have a similar situation??

It can happen, especially early out. IF you still have issues in a couple days, you should get back in there and get checked for a stricture, they can and do occasionally happen, and cause your symptoms as well tightness, inability to get down solids, and sometimes even liquids and nausea. The treatment is painless dilation.. sometimes a couple times before it stays open. Just monitor yourself and if it doesn't start feeling right soon, get back to your Drs.

Stricture would be my guess too, particularly if it doesn't clear up pretty fast.

Aww, I'm sorry sweetheart!

I got nauseated a few days ago, but it seems to be passing thank God!  I hope you're feeling better by now!  Its such an awful feeling--nobody knows unless they've been through it.  Yikes!

I too take prilosec daily because if I eat anything even mildly acidic I get heartburn.  Believe it or not, this is an improvement.  It used to be I'd get heartburn no matter what--so there's a silver lining!

*big hugs!*

P.S. Sorry I haven't been able to get your package to you yet!  I haven't forgotten!
