New Orleans. I would suggest just eat the beans. Rice makes me sick. Also order the seafood just get grilled or baked instead of fried. Pascal Manales has awesome bar b q shrimp. You'll have to share with someone too. Portions here are huge.

For about a week struggled to eat/drink at all. Then one day could drink without any issues. So fast it scared me. Called the doctor and they said that the swelling had gone down and that drinking shouldn't be an issue anymore. Maybe your swelling wasnt so bad. I would call doc just to check.

Actually at 4 weeks my doc says should be eating 800-1000 calories. I think it is not a set amount. You have to use your actual weight/BMI to figure out what is right for you.

I'm wearing the same size I wore in college 20 years ago. Only 2 months out and 3 sizes down.

Also not doing it sooner. Talk to OB about post pregnancies.

I'm having trouble judging too. Sometimes I can eat and eat. Other times 3 bites and I feel sick. It's very frustrating. I know some of it has to do with what I'm eating, but sometimes it's the same thing. Anyone have ideas?

For dry mouth I also chewed gum or sucked on sugar free mints. Research and asking others has been my best tool. I get rid of dry heaves by drinking lil sip of something carbonated. It releases gas by belching and releases the pressure. I understand it doesn't work for everyone. Diet ginger ale seems to work the best.
