Reply to "Scared to eat food after obstruction :("

Thanks! All very good tips.

I am 10 years from my surgery (eek, writing that just made me feel really old).

I definitely think I still have a narrowing - I can feel cramps as food goes through now that I am advancing my diet a bit. I'm currently enjoying a smoothie and am planning my next grocery trip with all your suggestions in mind.

It's interesting what you are all saying about fluids. I almost always drink a huge cup of tea in the morning, but on the day of my blockage, I was in a rush and skipped it. I didn't end up drinking anything until 1pm when I had a cup of water. Probably the combination of my narrowing plus the whole grain rice, veggies with skins and no fluid was to blame?
