I've tried tiny portions, get a couple bites in then start salivating, feelings miserable, burps, finally gag up thick mucus, rarely foods product. I've had a endoscopy, Flaton by , non Bariatric gastro MD. W/O ANY IMPROVEMENT. I'M losing a pound every 2 -3 days. No appetite. Which is fine.

Anyone else have this difficult with solids?

Possibly you're too restricted? I cant imagine. For me, I havent been able to have any protein shakes, so I started eating before they allowed to get the protein I needed. I am doing well, but there are times that I do have problems. Im not hungry at all, but I make sure I eat through out the day. I have "bigger" meals when my stomach rumbles. Good luck!

After my RNY surgery 18 months ago, I lost all my appetite. It was really good to not have hunger constantly gnawing at my bones. And the weight fell off quickly and effortlessly. It is important to remember in the early stages after surgery, food is fairly unimportant. Your body is converting your stored fat into energy. What is important is to make sure you get in the prescribed Vitamins, Protein and fluids.

I had some difficulty with solids. I found out that mixing foods together restored flavor to the meals. Also it was easier to get an exact measured quantity of food that way using measuring cups. So I concentrated on eating high protein home-made chili and Soups. These did not cause me to feel the pain associated with eating solids.

That's good to know, thanks!
