I lost 33lbs in 3 weeks. Still on liquids and loosing only a couple pounds a week. Is this normal? I have a lot of dumping, especially around different food smells.

Yeah' date=' I'm on puréed now so I'm suppose to eat three meals a day and still get the fluids, carbs and Protein. My nurse said I won't be able to get all the protein just by food in this stage so to supplement with protein shakes. She said those count as Fluid not a meal or snack. I'm happy to help in any way :-). I look at it as we're all in this together![/quote']

My doc told me to do 5 meals a day so I've been doing 2 shakes a day sometimes 3 and two meals that are more like snacks but make me full...i.e. some yogurt or low fat cottage cheese type things. That way has been working. It's hard to eat 5 meals a day when you are not hungry but as I am getting used to it it's getting easier. With only 3 meals a day it would be awful hard to get in enough of anything. Good luck!
