I recently had a fill and a few days later had terrible chills with the shakes at night. This has happened in the past and I wonder if anyone has experienced the same thing. I was wondering if it was due to not getting enough nutrition. Also, there are days where I can eat a normal meal i.e. fish, baked potato and green beans and then the next day I can't get much down. Is this a problem anyone else has?

I have been very concerned about the amount of "real" food one can eat post surgery. It sounds like your diet is one that you can live with and not feel deprived. I have heard that yhou can only eat about 2 ounces of food at a time - I don't know how you go through life like that? Your comments have encouraged me. I have my first appointment with my doctor this coming friday. Have to go through 6 months diet w/him to satisfy insurance so worry is rampant.
