I wonder if I barf too much...

As for the stricture I was told that some people form scar tissue faster than others and that can be a cause for a stricture, since a stricture is scar tissue?? So I guess that would make sense as to why it was there so soon after surgery. I know that 3 minutes seems like a really long time between bites but believe me it sure makes a diference. If I eat too fast I ALWAYS feel sick and if I take my time I feel just fine after a meal. I also don't get in enough liquids, there is days I barely get in 20 oz. Not sure what the problem is but I am working on it and trying to get more in me. Good Luck!!!!!!!! And welcome to the losers bench!!!!!

Could it be a stricture already? huh. I didn't think that would be it because it's only with certain foods (well, new foods every time...).  but I wil check it out.  I honestly do think it's eating too fast even though it feels like it's so slow.  Three minutes seems crazy - but i need to start to count seconds off between each bite. If it keeps happening I'll call the doc. 

And I know I'm not getting 64 ounces in a day - so maybe the hunger thing is related to that - I maybe get 40 oz.  I just can't drink fast enough and include that 3 hours a day (the before and after meals wait) to get 64 ounces in.  I will try harder - it's nice to have all the ideas and thoughts I get from you

 saying a "stricture already"  makes me think that you think it's a late occuring complication, but that is not the case.  Strictures happen very early out and if you are having the issues you write about, it would be a smart move to go and see your surgeon.  Can't hurt, might help.  Using a spoon to make yoursefl throw up doesn't sound like a whole bunch of fun and you need to see what's going on, it sure doesn't sound normal to me...You could be on your way to develop some bad habits if you are throwing up so much and using a spoon to help it come up

good luck
