Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

You must eat three times a day' date=' even if it's just a little. For no other reason this will establish good eating habits.I wasn't eating very much at your stage....maybe 6 Tbls at most.[/quote']

Thank you deaddemmama! Maybe I will just go back to drinking my protein...This helps...I'm trying...I will keep trying

I was the same way. And then suddenly, last week, it's like my tummy relaxed and I was able to eat more. Still not a lot, but enough to get my calories in without feeling like I was dying. So just give it time.

I'm about 2.5 weeks out and not only have I stalled, I actually gained back almost 2 lbs. have had a lot of stress and feeling awful about gaining. I have been getting in 60 gr of protein a day. Haven't had trouble with any food. I am having 3 meals 1/4 c and 3 "snacks" a day. Seems like a lot more than everyone else. Usually 500-900 cals depending on what I choose. So frustrated. :-/

Hang in there! I was super slow the first 4 weeks, losing less than 10 lbs in the month.. I am starting to pick up now. Remember it is a marathon not a sprint.

Thanks! I have felt so... Wrong. I guess I just expected it to fall off at first... Good advice... Marathoning it from now on!

Thanks Bjroberts417 it's nice to know that others have experienced this & seen a light at the end of the tunnel...I have almost gotten 32oz of H2O in today...nauseous with every sip but that's the most I've ever gotten in...#silverlining

Well today made my 5th week out and my experienced today, everything I ate or drank felt like it was stuck and a few minutes later I would spit up thick white mucus, therefore I phoned my surgeon office around 7pm and I received a return call, instructing me to go to the hospital's outpatient unit where I will receive lots of fluids, toradol for pain, and blood work, my nurse said I was experiencing stomach spasms, he said I will receive treatment for 3 to 4 hours for 4 days, until my stomach relaxes and after that I should be fine, God is my help...

I had surgery June 25, lost 20lbs the first two weeks, then nothing! I read somewhere on here that some people had similar issues and once they could eat more, like 100-200cals per day more, the weight started coming off. I am now trying to eat on a regar basis, every couple hours just so I can get in more than 850cals. I feel like I am force feeding myself. My nutritionist said that getting in 850cals is appropriate for my stage. But somehow, it just doesn't seem right. I'm not hungry either but I exercise every other day for 60mins. If anyone else has any input, I am all ears!!

Cole,

hope everthing settles down soon.

Went out to eat with my brother. I am now shocked at how much food is served at restaurants. Of course I brought the majority of my soup and potato home to eat on for the next 4 days but to see that much food at one time made me positively ILL!

QUESTION: Hi everyone...I am almost 3 weeks out from my surgery & am having an awful time trying to eat...I noticed that after about 2 spoonfuls (baby spoon being used) I'm burping (sign of fullness)...today I wasn't sure & tried to eat a little more & I got ill...as it stands I'm not even getting 1/4 c. I'm feeling like crap & do well to eat once a day...so the question is has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any suggestions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks I hope you have a great day!
