a new complecation
has anyone else had this problem? and has anyone else lost too much waight and had to gain? how did you do it?
Wow thats a new one on me. I thought the surgeons made it big enough to have 1/4 cup of food. Did they under estimate or did it shrink back? I'm sorry that it has made you bulimic and I hope it gets better. There is another poster on here who has a problem gaining any back. She too is smaller than she should be but I dont remember why. I hope she sees this or I will look for her and have her get in touch with you. Isnt it ironic that we need to lose and then we go too far. Life is so strange. I do know several people lose way below there goal and gain a little bac****il their bodies get to the weight it desires. Good luck.
I agree classic signs of a Stricture... your surgeon should have found this with one test, a scope and fixed it right away...it is one of biggest things they warned us about in all the preop classes... signs and symptoms of a stricture..... Once they get that bad boy opened up you will be able to eat again and you will put on weight.
Good luck.

I am in the same boat only 1 month out and cant eat anything except liquids not full liquids because pudding and jello hurt. I have had several tests and they didnt find anything wrong. I am worried about it to. My family is freaking out about me not being able to eat. I live off protein shakes and coffee and sf fudgepops
I lost too much due to Reactive Hypoglycemia. I'm putting weight back on now that the is under control but your concern right now is being able to eat real food and keep it down. I can't imagine that it took Drs that long to find a stricture!!
You need to keep on the medical professionals to help you right now. Are you able to eat any solids yet? What are they saying about your situation? BE PROACTIVE and hound them! You need help if you aren't getting it.
