I've been in the same boat. I had surgery June 20. I never want to eat and when I do it's very little. After surgery I wasn't able to do Protein shakes milk or eggs so I have to did my protein other ways. In October I got severely dehydrated and malnourished. The admitted me to the hospital place a PICC line in my arm and sent me home to get TPN through a pump at night. While I'm on TPN I eat a little bit more but no where close to what I'm suppose to have. Few months later and a lot of test the determined nothing is wrong and we arnt sure why my body isn't absorbing. Thankfully last week all my level came up an I was taking off TPN. We will see what happens from know on. I'm forcing 30-60 grams of protein a day and about 20 ounces of Water. I'm constantly forcing myself eat something. I have lost 100lbs but I went Nov-feb not losing anything because the TPN kept me at a plateau. Let us know what you doctors come up with. You could have a stricture r ulcer. I have neither and I hate eating.

Thanks everyone

I feel like I'm loosing to slowly. I'm 5 weeks this pass Thursday and only down 26-28 pounds. Is this normal weight loose?

I understand. I went to school for studio art and I'm a graphic designer now. I use to have to do stuff like this in college all the time.

Love them!

How far along we're y'all before trying a piece of pizza? I'm craving cheese pizza an want to try it but I haven't had any bread yet.

I tired KFC chicken last night it was to greasy and got stuck I final got it up but I've felt horrible since and I have a bad headache and nothing had been good all day. I hope the feeling goes away and to get to eat some more.

First time 4 days I was denied because they sent in wrong info not all way faxed but then day 10 I was approved

The pill is huge but I swallow mine. And it's never gotten stuck. The worst part is I have to take with food but after that huge pill I can barely eat.

Hey girl! How is everything else going?? My doctor had me swallowing pills in the hospital. I swallow my Actigall and Prilosec.

Congrats hopefully you will hear something soon

Me to month out tomorrow and I've been eating it for a week

Weighed this morning and I'm down 32lbs total and 19 lbs since surgery. Not sure if this is average but loosing 3/4 of a pound a day since surgery is good to me!!

That's AWESOME!

I buy the yoplait 100 calorie yogurts but not Greek. I also like the key lime. I've be ER had key lime pie before but the yogurt is great! I just crave meat and beans instead of sweets. But last week I craved yogurt. I never had craving until after surgery. It takes some getting use to.

I wish I like Greek yogurt. I tired it and I just don't like it. Guess ill stick with my nasty looking Mexican food!

Puréed chicken fajita.... Sooooo good. One more week of purée diet!

I'm week three today and I stalled all last week. But it moved today!

I'm trying Arby's roast beef with no bread. And mashed potatoes.
