If you can, drinkthe protein drinks and/or soups. Try cottage cheese and/or low fatcheese and whole grain crackers (Whole Wheat Ritz are yummy). If youstill have pain and throwing up call your doctor. The stoma (thehole made to join your new stomach and the intestine) may be closingup and may require dilation. I had this procedure done three timesbefore it stayed open on its own. It is a non-surgical andnon-painful procedure. I was terribly depressed and discourageduntil I found out why I was unable to eat despite my hunger. Youdon't have to feel this way too. Call your surgeon. He can help.
