5 weeks post op having trouble

[jen14 0]

I am 5 weeks post op. and I am having trouble increasing my volume . So far I have lost 40 pounds . That might be to much ? And I cannot eat more than 3 tbs 3 times a day ... And even with that I feel like I have food stuck in my esophagus ? And I eat over 30 minutes everytime ? Is something wrong ?

you don't have a ticker or profile (hint, hint )

don't know your starting weight

when people have lllllots of weight to lose.....

"maybe" example of 125 lbs and up to lose

"please no one yell at me about that # i just threw in the air "

sometimes initially the weight can/might come off quickly,

then the loss will slow down to a "normal" amount

only eating 3 tbsp 3 times a day???esophogas bothering you like somethings stuck??? :ph34r:

at 5 weeks i think you should be able to eat more

talk to your NUT/surgeon

get things checked out with the doc

great on the weight loss..............

good luck

Are you eating the right foods for your phase? At 5 weeks out maybe your pureed or soft foods aren't soft enough. Don't try to eat hard foods too soon. Take small bites. Hope you'll do better soon. It does get better. Hang in there.
