I too am going back to Slim fast and a bland diet. I have at least two places where the adhesions are around my bowel. The last four or five days, I have bee throwing up when I eat "Solid" Food. Not much bu the acid is AWFUL. I didnt know if it was normal or not. I have only had my own experience to go by until a few days ago that is. I am currently experiening tthings for the first time. In the past, adhesions have Adhered the bowel to the abdomanal wall, pelvic bone and other organs. This blockage thing is pretty new to me. The sharp and burning pains just never go away..until I take my antidepresent..which puts me to sleep for about three hours...until I move. I', whining again....Just don't know what to do...Thanks for listening and writing
