Scared to eat

I am almost 6 weeks out of my RNY and I am scared to eat very much. I am not hungry so I feel like I have to remind myself to eat something. I only eat 2-3 oz of food at a time and only about 3-4 times a day. I still am doing soft foods and I am really scared to eat anything else. What amount of food do most people eat at this stage and what are you eating. My husband laughs at me because I take my tiny bowl and tiny spoon with me everywhere.

  • It sounds like you are doing fine. Only eat what your stomach allows you to eat. You don't want push it and end up with bad over eating habits. Just make sure you are getting your required protein in.

I was very scared when I had my surgery after I had my surgery I had 3 infections. Then 8 months after I had my surgery I went on a trip with one of my tour groups and I have been bullied.

It sounds like you are doing fine. Only eat what your stomach allows you to eat. You don't want push it and end up with bad over eating habits. Just make sure you are getting your required protein in. I am 10 weeks out and I stayed with the soft food phase a little longer than what was required because that is what I was comfortable with. My nutritionist said that was not uncommon. I very slowly started adding more regular foods (one at a time). Again, just make sure you are getting your protein in.
