I've followed my book to a T and I feel I'm hitting roadblocks. I'm maybe able to get down two or three bites of anything and my stomach is making weird noises and won't let me eat anymore. I think I'm eating half of what the book is saying I should. I can get down all my fluids, food still a struggle. Anyone else?

I am 2 weeks today. I am required to have 60-70 grams of protein a day. I have 2 protein shakes and my water, not much else fits. I can do a couple of ounces or soups, jello or yogurt and that's it. I do hear gurgling but I just keep going, SLOW. As long as you are getting your water and protein everything else is just practice eating, but if you are worried ask you medical team. I have had 2 follow up appointments already.

I am 5 weeks and some days (like today) I still struggle with getting enough food in. On certain days my body just isn't into it and nothing sounds appetizing or I feel full/nauseous after a few bites.

My doc told me that if any food stage is a struggle you may not be ready for it and there's nothing wrong with going back to the previous stage for a while.

I am in my third week and have the same issue. Today I actually got sick not sure if it was the premier Protein shake which I only took a few drinks or the egg I had this morning. Very frustrated right now and my energy is draining!!

I'm 6 weeks out and generally can only take 2-3 bites of anything before I'm full, but that's why I had the surgery:) I love the fact that I am satisfied with just a few bites.

My Dr said eggs are one of the toughest foods to tolerate . He says try poached then fried with small amount of butter only then scrambled. He says if it makes you nauseous come back to it later.

I am just at end of 3 week and can't keep eggs now and feel the same as you not eating or drinking much at all some days
