Come on, man!

Ok so the subject line has nothing to do with my inquiry I'm 5 months post op and I can only eat about 3 very small bites before my stomach feels uneasy. Now I know this is what I signed up for but I just wanted to know if eventually I will be able to eat more. I want to start working out but being that I eat so little, I usually get light headed. Will I ever be able to eat more than 3 small bites?

For me personally I wasn't able to eat more than about 5 small bites until about 4 months post. So it is most likely that you will be able to eat a little more as time goes by!!

Congrats on surgery, and good luck with everything

Call your dr. Not normal.

Sorry you are going through this. Do you try to eat more frequently to compensate? When you say 3 bites, is that 3 bites of dense Protein, or anything? Can you drink Protein Shakes? I am just a week short of being 5 months out, and I definitely don't have that issue. I can eat about 4 to 5 small veggie meatballs with a little (like less than a tbsp) of ricotta and a little parmesan or 2 soy protein sausage patties with cheese (I'm a vegetarian). At first I could only eat about 2 to 2.5 veggie meatballs, so my capacity has increased. I can eat about a cup of salad, but not if I am eating protein, so I usually eat veggies as Snacks. I would definitely talk to your surgeon.

Also, can you eat more of something like yogurt? I can eat 9 oz of Greek yogurt. In fact, I am eating that right now.

I can eat more than that at 8 weeks talk with your doctor.

I can eat a considerable amount of mushy foods. Maybe I'm eating too fast? Rather than get full my stomach starts hurting.

I can eat more than that now, and I'm only in my 3rd week! Yikes! LOL

I'm 6 months out and like tess can eat. Today for Breakfast I had a hard boiled egg (egg white only) and a 5.3oz Greek yogurt. If I eat slider foods can definitely get more down. If I stick to Proteins about 5-7oz.

I will be 5 months on the 4th and can eat about 1 oz of dense Protein, I can't always finish that amount. In the mornings I try to eat a 6oz yogurt, somedays I can't finish, somedays I can.

There are certain foods I can eat way more of, but I've never been able to eat more than 3/4 cup.
