I'm 3 weeks and 2 days as well... If I eat 2 TBS than I'm lucky. I have to supplement with Protein Shakes because I definitely can't get nutrition through food yet. If I even take a bite over 2 Tbs then I'm in PAIN.

I don't understand you all are just over 3 weeks post op and eating chicken and meatballs etc. My surgeon has us all on full liquids plus eggs until 4 weeks. I'm able to eat 1/2 cup of creamy Soup or a whole egg. I get full. Am i eating too much at one time?

Everyone is different and drs are different as well my dr told me soft foods and I could have meat he said 3 oz but I can't do it and soup Is all the same for me I can eat alil drink alil guess its just me n my body

I had the same problem, I'm now 5months out, the best advice I can give is to eat several small meals & keep it down ,than push yourself to eat more & then get sick. I still can only eat 4 or 5 oz a meal, & if I eat to fast or drink while I eat, I'll be sick for hours. Good luck, in the beginning I swore I made the biggest mistake but now I've lost 104lbs,& just had to go shopping because everything was falling off me. I forgot how much fun shopping, doing my makeup& nails, was next up for me is to dye this head of gray hair. Hang in there you'll be feeling better about things before you know it.

Peace,

​Mary

Yes it did stall my weightloss some, I was like 2 months out and only eating an ounce of food and the scale wouldn't move.... I had to slowly increase to 2 oz and the weight started falling off again. Now I'm lucky if I can eat 2 1/2 oz and I'm stalling again. I have tried to increase my amount to 3 oz but I just can't eat that much! Plus I don't get hungry ever so I just eat my 3 meals a day like my dr said and I still feel like its a chore!

I'm 8 weeks 2 days out and I can barely eat 2oz. I feel sick if I eat an actual 2 oz. I've had a few issues with strictures. But, Idk if that's why I'm having a hard time eating.

Surgery Date: May 2, 2013 - Amount Lost: 55lbs

I ate a good 2 1/2 oz of food for dinner pretty excited but the other meals were 1 oz :-/ if that I feel so sick but the beef and broccoli really hit my stomach the right way ... I hope I don't stall to long I've lost only 20 lbs in 3 wks but I know it's my intake on food hope yes gets better soon too

I'm the same way and we had surgery the same day. It depends on what I eat tho. I could only eat an ounce of meatballs tonight for supper but had 2 ounces of chicken salad for lunch. Go figure. I think the heavier the food the less I can eat which makes sense. It'll get better. It has to. Lol

I have noticed this too. The more dense the meat or meal the less I can eat.

Thank you! :) I wish I could take credit though. Lol but, when you can't eat anything the weight tends to fall off. However, I stalled out for 2 weeks from not eating too. I just started losing again since I've just now been able to eat again. I feel lots better now! :)

Lol yes it does but Man U had chicken salad I can't do that yet I got so nauseous I tried for lunch eggs are bad for me too have u tried pancakes they have these Kosher ones with blueberries 14 grams of Protein I think I'm go an try that next .. I think for me chewing is such a long job I don't wanna eat either :-/

I hate the chewing!! Everything starts to taste so nasty when you are chewing it to death! I am working hard to add a little food each day, but I still can't eat more than a couple of spoons of stuff. I am 4 weeks out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
