Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!

I had a telehealth visit with the surgeon yesterday. He said I should continue to improve over the next 2 months.
Then he had me make an appointment with a Gastroenterologist to guide me through the adding of new foods. I have that appointment in February.
I am just so happy to not be in pain all the time with cramping. The surgery was well worth it!
I will update as I begin to add more foods.
He said it takes about 3 months to get the full recovery from the pyloric valve opening. He said it hasn’t had time to fully open yet.

thank you for the update, Brenda. I am so pleased you are doing better. No nausea ?? you can eat whenever you want I.e. you can eat at dinner time and then lay down and not feel nauseous? if you recall - right now I stop eating solids at 2 p.m - full 8 hours before I go to sleep. I still don't feel "comfortable" 8 hours later - but I am able to fall asleep laying on my stomach. Semi-reclined, on either side or on my back I get aching and nausea - laying on right side is THE WORST... I wake up during the night and its only after about 2 a.m. that I can lay in any position - so 12 hours post last meal - and its a small soft meal - around 1 cup of food.... I do have liquids and purees (usually stewed apples or pears pureed) later than 2 a.m. - up until about 6 p.m. - but very small amounts .... Anxious to hear if you get back to 'normal" Prior to your procedure - what were you eating??
