I am 2 months out and I can not eat hardly anything! I have not yet experienced hunger so I have to make myself try to eat something. When I think about eating I just want to gag and even my liquids are sometime to much for my tummy to handle. I can get in just enough Water and gatorade to keep from getting dehydrated. Some days I can manage to get in 2 tbls of food all day so basically I feel like I'm gonna waste away. I've lost 60 lbs so far, which is way too fast I think, and I'm not even hungry. I feel pretty much like crap all the time and I know its because of the lack of nutrition. I can't even do the Protein Drinks. If anybody is having or has had anything similar to this I would like to hear about how you are handling it. Thanks.

Have you discussed this with your nutritionist or surgeon? It is critical that you address this right away as the lack of Protein alone can be devastating to your body. At 8 weeks out, based upon my plan, you would be transitioning to 3 oz of food per meal. Obviously you're not anywhere near that.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Do you see your nutritionist? I am 5 weeks out and am in a very similar spot. I was just told if I don't turn it around in 3 weeks they willl put a feeding tube in. I can't do the shakes but she did give me some ideas - I have the ok for Protein bars, Protein Jello (apparently at GNC), she told me I can nibble all day long on Protein Bar, cheese, yogurt, Peanut Butter and continue to drink if I need to. I know it's all against the rules but she told me I need to be doing anything I can.
