I am 3 days post op and I am really struggling to eat. I am allowed to have stage 2 full liquid, like yogurt, pudding, Protein shakes and applesauce. I am lucky if I can get an ounce of food down. I dread having to eat. How long will this last? Will I ever want to eat? Drinking is super hard too. Help!

Girl the struggle is real! All my liquids have to be ice cold. I can't drink the Protein shakes. ???? YUCK ????. THANK goodness I'm on soft foods. I too have to force myself to eat. After a tablespoon or 1 1/2 tablespoons I'm stuffed.

I was doing pretty good until day 9. My stomach started to hurt and my heart was pounding out of my chest. Last night I went to the hospital for dehydration. I had been drinking as much as I could handle, but last night I started to throw up Water and anything. I didn't have a leak and everything is fine. The doctor said my stomach is starting to scar and that could be causing some stomach discomfort. He said to take my anti nausea meds and drink as much as I could. Today I didn't get any food in hardly at all. Just a lot of liquid. I'm hoping tomorrow is better. Feeling so drained! Can barely do anything for longer than 15 minutes.

I had my surgery 12/12 and I'm not really hungry. When I am, I eat a little like two half spoons and I'm full. I need to get more fluids in.

I was sleeved 3/13 & feel same! I do best with protein drinks

If you can't eat much I'd just do protein and liquid. I had surgery Monday and tried watered down cream of wheat yesterday morning. Four small bites over twenty minutes and I felt like I had swallowed a ball. Then last night I had protein pudding and was able to have a quarter cup. The difference was the time of day and the texture difference. I feel I get a little better every day so I'm not too worried. I start my day with protein 2o grape drink because it isn't as thick and easier to get down.
