Why cant i eat anymore

Has anyone had the feeling where they can't eat solid food. All of a sudden this past week I can't eat I take one bite and have the fullness feeling. But I can drink no problem and eat soft foods like ice cream no problem. I have a follow up on Wednesday should I be seen sooner should I be worried??

  • Oddly star I have had this when constipated! I can drink but no food. When I eat it feels like a lump or like I have eaten too much with one bite .

  • There are times I feel that way. I drink my UNjury when that happens. It only happens when my body is going through its monthly for a day or 2 then I am back to normal.

  • Hmm I'm actually on my monthly now I wonder if that's it well I hope so but we'll see

If your really concerned then call your surgeon's office in the AM. You should be fine as long as you can get your water in. :)

Yes, it happens to me every now and then. I also go through phases where I completely lose my appetite and have to force myself to eat and feel like spitting out food while I'm chewing.

I'm only about 13 days out and haven't had much that is "food". I am finding that it is hard to gauge what I can finish. I had cottage cheese and it was really difficult to choke down. Maybe just because I am new?

At thirteen days I was still on full liquids about to start pureed. Did you puree your cottage cheese? It really makes a difference so make sure you do puree during this stage. Also measure out 1/4 cup at a time.

I just started soft foods yesterday and i can only eat three small forks of food.whether its eggs, tuna etc Im stuffed....is that normal for the second day of phase III

Starr, I agree with the poster who said her inability to get food down coincided with constipation. That happens to me too. Very frustrating. I actually get nauseous.

Im 10 days out and I was told by my nutritionist that I could star puree 8 day out. Which I thought it was weird. Only eat a bit at a time. I drink 1 oz of Water every 20 minutes and eat 1 oz every 2 hours. Just take your time eating. "Good luck.
