It is week 5 post op and I'm not drinking or eating Enough called the MD office and am told to give it more time for my stomach to heal just keep up with the fluids what gives?

Why arent you eating or drinking? nausea? No interest? Food taste funny?

by 5 weeks i was on solids and introducing new foods into my diet.

Yes, keep up with the fluids best as you can.

Your doctor should be a little more concerned I think. I'm just 2&1/2 weeks post op and I'm eating and drinking small quantities though it's getting easier and easier. Keep up with your fluids if you can....try making a smoothie. It helped me a lot.... I used a half a small banana and 5 frozen strawberries, an oikos 100 cal greek yogurt, one scoop protein powder, 1/2 tbs honey, add a little apple juice no sugar added for consistency blend like crazy. This saves my bacon every day in protein content AND needed calories!!!
