sorry to ask so many questions.... So I tried to nibble on something that wasnt on my list to eat...few tiny pieces of veggie burger. Maybe it was to solid. Manybe I took one more bite then I should have...BUT i find myself (like now) getting this feeling in my throat. Like something is stuck or just sitting in my chest. Is this a full feeling? because i have yet to feel full the way I used to (ya know feeling stuffed in your stomach). Is there a difference??? HELP:sad0:

I have lost 23 pounds and im stuck at that weight loss too. Im at my three week mark and the scale wont move. I started the gym this week hoping it will help. Hasnt yet but maybe next week will be different....

eloquentblue...I feel the same way. I cant seem to get enough water in. Last night I was feeling really dizzy and couldnt figure out why. I tried to drink a cup of water and went to bed. The only thing I can think of is im not getting enough fluids in. It is hard to fit food , protein and water in....

Thabks for the advice..good to know:)

HEY GUYS FEW QUESTIONS??? 1: I KNOW WE NEED TO TAKE TINY BITES...AS MONTHS GO ON DO OUR BITES GET MORE NORMAL SIZED?? LOL 2: IM GOING ON VACATION IN AUGUST AND I WILL BE 3 MONTHS...WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR DRINKING??? I MEAN I DONT WANT TO GET WASTED BUT CAN I HAVE A FEW DRINKS? 3:WHEN DID PEOPLE START EXPLORING NEW FOODS NOT ON OUR DIET PLAN?.....

THAT WAS SO MOTIVATING THANKS FOR YOUR STORY....YOU LOOK AMAZING:thumbup: OH AND THANKS FOR ALWAYS ANSWERING MY NEWBIE QUESTIONS I APPRECIATE IT!!

Cant you call the emergency line at your doctor??? when something goes wrong with me thats what I do. The doctor on call would probably give you the best advice. If you have been in pain all night you might want to be looked at....good luck keep us posted!!

Congrats on your surgery!! When I got mine done I had to stay 2 nights 3 days. My doctor said it was because the 1st few days are most important and they wanted to track my progress. So see how you feel..If your insurance covers another night I would stay....Congrats again and good luck!!

Thanks for the advice..maybe I should slow down on some of the dense protein. I think i will stick to more mush foods for another week or 2...

I have been measuring my food and I notice certain foods I cant eat as much of. When I eat refried beans or cottage cheese I can get down three ounces pretty well. BUT when I try to eat meat or tiny scallops or thinks like that I cant get down more than an ounce. Is this normal?? I mean I really struggle to get enough of the dense protein in and its all things I can have at 3 weeks....according to my dotor...any advice????

OMG guys that really happens??. The doctor told me MAKE SURE i TAKE 100% Biotin and 100% zinc in my multivitamin to avoid that from happening. I didnt take it seriously and I have been slacking on the vitamins. I guess I need to get back in gear with it....

SO I am 3 weeks post op and just have a few question about my food intake... Just wanted to hear peoples experience with what they are able to eat or the amount of food that people can fit after 3months? 6months? ECT. When can I go out to eat with my hubby and be able to eat half a meal??? When did you guys start enjoying coffee again??? I miss coffee but I dont know if I could fit it.....ANY ADVICE...THANKS:001_smile:

LINDA....AT 9 months out...are your bites still really really small lol. Or as time goes on are your 4 bites more normal sized?? :thumbup: OHHH and its morning and I have a cup of coffee. I only have had about 3 sips so far but its sooo good:thumbup:

I just dont understand why we get this "full" feeling in our throats. It honestly just feels like im backed up and the food hasnt even made it to my stomach yet. Not to be gross but sometimes I need to throw up a little to relieve that pressure. Thanks for the help guys <3

I think im going to try coffee in the morning..I hope it goes well. I feel like im cheating my diet. Im only to have 3oz protein at lunch but I cant help but to feel hungry later on. So today I tried little bit of peanut butter..NOT GOOD GOING DOWN...so now im eatting a little piece of a veggie burger dipping it in ketchup. I feel like I shouldnt be eating it but its going down ok right now...IM SO CONFUSED....we shall see

Thanks for the imput guys. Im just missing food and my doctor still wants me on shakes as two meals. I cant wait to just eat normal again...real food:) What do you guys think of fruit? watermelon maybe in between meals when I feel like munching?Thanks so much for the help. I been feeling very down!!

Thanks lee....I cant wait to start eating a little more. I try to get down 3oz of beans for lunch and its a struggle. My mouth is like feed me and I think I go a little to fast. So I try and take breaks bc it feels like it gets a little stuck in my throat. But thanks so much for the info:thumbup:

I am also 2 weeks out. Had surgery may 18th. I drink the whey protein shake twice a day. 3oz for breakfast and 3oz for dinner. Now im on mush food for lunch. So 3oz of cottage cheese or something similar.:thumbdown:
