Depressed, I am hungry every 2 hours!!
I drink whey protein shakes for breakfast. Lean cuisine for lunch. sometimes left overs which consist of baked or boiled chicken, gumbo or some type of rice. I snack on sugar free pudding 3.5oz or sugar free candy 1pc. Cheese and crackers or peanut butter and crackers. Once I get home from work I am really not hungry. I eat lunch at 11:30 and by 2 or 2:30 I am starving.

MY pill wont go down
I suggest a pill cutter or a pill crusher for future references. In the meantime keep drinking something warm, tea, coffee, cocoa, it seems to help until it finally goes down.

What does an average day of eating look like for you?
An average day of eating for me is no breakfast, everything gets stuck even liquids and if i do get liquids I have to sip very slow. Lunch is usually leftovers (healthy most of the time) no more than 8 oz or a Lean Cuisine 8oz. I might get 1.0 ounce of sugarfree candy or 3.5 oz of sugar free pudding. Dinner is (healthy most of the time) not more than 8 oz. no fried foods and pretty much chicken, boiled and baked. I have not had any protein drinks in about 2 weeks, the milk was starting to bother me.

questions about fills??
I have only had 3 fills and all were done under flouro, my doctor make me drink barium under xray and he can tell. After the fill they make me sit in the waiting room sipping a small cup of water and if it cant go down you come back in the room and they will take some out. I am blessed to say I have not had an unfill. Keep in mind all dr's are different.

one more question
i had surgery on a Thursday and I went back that next Friday. So I was off for 7 days. I was fine. I sit at a desk all day so I dont know what you do at work will make a difference. Another lady that works with me had the surgery with a diff doctor and she was out 14 days. I actually could have went back that Monday. I was a little soar in the morning from laying down all night or sitting down all day but I felt fine once I got up and moving.

I have been reading
I lost weight before my first fill, I think I originally lost 23 and then gained back a few. I had my first fill 10 weeks after surgery and I was 18 pounds lighter. I average 7-8 pounds lost per month. I eat right 95% of the time.
