i was just going to post something similar. I'm finding now that I feel hunger and thirst the same way--a burning in my stomach. so now i'm drinking drinking drinking. I'm trying to do just the 3 and no bored eating. So you're not alone

Just went over this with my doc in group today. Protein: Broccoli, quinoa, fish, chicken, beef, eggs, dairy, beans. Whole grains have some incomplete proteins. I drink as i eat, and i wake up and go to sleep drinking. I drink during the 5 hour lapses between the 3 meals.

My drugs were good. i woke up thinking I was still waiting for the doc! So I didn't have any type of tube memory!
-
Yes! Mine came on right after, and it wasn't even time! So yeah!

yes, I'm learning that the process of eating is SLOWWWWW...I'm not used to it either. I put some babyfood meat into potato Soup and blended it...it was okay....any meat I eat or anys olids have to be very liquidy (sauce on it etc.)
-
Ah....so my body was telling me something. I had a shake for dinner with the optifast from before. and my body loved it...no pain or pressure. slow slips and I know I go cals. ya!

I know that my NUT said max around 800. But I had another woman who was eating 300 to 400 and she stalled. She increased and then lost. I'm confused too.

Every time I eat I can only get 1/4 of a cup of whatever down. I feel like I'm not getting my calories so I sip Protein drinks during the day. I had some spicy food and it's made my stomach sensitive. So today all I wanted was icecream. I 'm tired of eating. I'm tired of finding things to fill my pouch and the slight discomfort. I know I'm learning my body but I just wish I could get a break from the work.....I'm just venting. I know if I dont' get all my cals, I'll stall...I'm just tired of thinking about it.
