I had my first sorta-kinda real meal today. About 2 tbl spoons of mashed potatoes and a tbl spoon of peas and 3 or 4 of those little baby carrots you buy in the store.

That was almost 5 hours ago, I still feel stuffed. I've drank a glass of apple juice since meal time and that's it. I should have had another meal about an hour ago but I just feel like if I eat anything else right now I'm gona split a seam.

Any advice?

If you're not hungry don't eat. Make sure you have adequate fluids and don't force yourself to eat food if you're not hungry. Having no appetite is pretty common right after surgery. Don't fret about it too much, your appetite will be back before you know it.
