Hurts!

[XXLnomore 51]

Wow. I guess I just really over-ate for the first time since surg (7/30/13). That really hurt! It felt like a stabbing in my stomach. Hopefully that'll make me pay more attention! :-/

Wow, you are eating a much bigger variety than me...grilled chicken yum..baked potatoes! Why. Did you puree lasagna? Seems like a soft food? All sounds great, gonna try the stouffers lasagna..

I also had surgery July 30 2013. I'm on day 4 of soft foods and have been eating turkey meatballs with marinara, one meatball and I'm full. Hope all goes well from here.

I started logging food cuz I was worried I'd eat the wrong things and take in too many calories. But, I seem to avg around 400-500 a day....which is not much at all. And i drink lots of Water.

[vicki s 146]

No, thats not much, I am eating 600-800 cal

[LilBoo007 491]

Wow !!! Maybe I'm not eating enough but I eat 3 meals a day plus 1 Protein Shake and I average 650-700 calories a day....... But my surgery was March 13th.... Imma ask my surgeon on the 13th what my calorie intake should be for 6 months post op

I would ask but I don't think you are eating too much. I average about the same. I was told not to worry about the calories. Focus on the Protein number.

I was told the same. Focus on Vitamins, Protein and fluids. For the record I'm getting between 650 and 850 cals a day according to my tracker. I'm three months out.

Turkey chili w/beans is good too. One cup has 17gr protein but I can only eat 1/2 cup. I never have trouble with it.

Help! I had surgery on August 26th, and I am having nausea when standing too long. I am not getting too much down and this morning I was trying to pour myself 2oz. Of Protein drink, but I was spitting up and urinating all at the same time. This happens every time. What can I do?
