Will i ever?

I'm about 10 weeks post op and can barely take anything in. I might get in 2 spoonfuls of whatever it is I'm eating (chilli, chicken, etc) so my question is... Will I ever be able to consume anything more than that?

Enjoy the weight loss, at some point you will eat more and lose less

yes... I was swollen for almost 3-4 months. I am 20 months post op and eat quite normal portions. But I was just like you in the beginning! Normal this is what I ate yesterday: 1 large slice of whole grain toast and a half a banana and peanut butter for breakfast. 1 cheese stick and 8 carrot sticks with dip for a snack. 3 oz of tuna salad and 8 crackers for lunch, a 8oz yogurt for a snack. a 6 inch sub from subway with half the bread removed for dinner, and a few chips. and for a late snack I had a 100 cal bag of popcorn. yes the entire bag! Don't worry! It gets better!

I love hearing your experiences. You make me feel so much less overwhelmed!!!!

Yes. You will get better. I am 18 months out and can eat a normal portion now. Please don't worry!

"Normal" meaning what a naturally thin person might eat, rather than the old super-sized portions, right? :)
