I have been struggling with grazing for the last two weeks. But today I started eating trail mix and managed to eat about 6 ozs of it through the afternoon. My surgery was Dec. 17th and I'm eating regular food. But if my fitness pal is right I'm averaging 900 - 1100 calories a day. I know I need to pick leaner Protein and avoid cheese and not eat fried foods BUT IF I COULD DO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED THE SURGERY!! I am trying to not panic or get depressed because that means I will really start eating. If I eat slowly pretty much anything I want to eat I can. I had to test it. I WANTED to get sick but I've never had dumping, or any other adverse affects from rich or fatty foods. I lost 40 lbs but now i haven't lost any weight for almost three weeks. I'm working out more this week, and hoping I counter the high calories but now I have to find the willpower from somewhere to eat right. So please friend me on my fitness pal, and please check my diary and help me if you can. I can't fail this time. I won't fail. Shanique73

I know how you feel!! Taking in enough Protein was a real struggle at 6 weeks. Now that I'm a whole 11 weeks out my problem is eating too much fatty food but back to your issue. Try eating puréed boiled ham or pork with seasonings, refried Beans or even pinto beans. I bought a Mr. coffee cup warmer and would put my 2-3 ozs of mushy meat in a mug a eat it for an hour. Just think super soft and extra juicy. Good luck and be blessed! Shanique
