I am at just over 4 weeks post op (bypass) and had to have my first stricture opened. I am not tolerating foods or protein drinks very well, even drinking water is a chore. Is there anyone who has had a stricture and what you ate after is was dilated back open? I can't figure out how to get...

I have been fighting with my weight all my life:( I hit the point just this year that made me break down and lose it. I couldn't handle living like this anymore, I felt like I couldn't take care of myself the way I should be able to. I wanted to just call the undertaker and buy my pine box...
