Common problems after fundoplication? what can i do to avoid them?

Dysphagia: It is common to have dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, for 3-6 weeks after the operation. You can avoid this by eating soft, "slippery" foods such as soups, apple sauce, and yogurt to name a few. Avoid bread and rice. As time progresses, feel free to slowly introduce more solid food into your diet, but chew it well, eat slowly, and start with small bites. Advance as tolerated. Hope this helps!
