I'm just over 3 months post op. I'm supposed to be eating a cup of food at each meal and 2 Snacks per day. I cannot get in the cup of food. More like a half a cup and not a crumb more or I'll puke and then I don't feel well for at least a half hour to 45 minutes after I eat. It's been like this since I started eating regular food. Doesn't matter which food it is, hot or cold, or if I eat it slow or fast. The result is always the same. Will this improve for me eventually?

Per my nut I'm suppose to eat a cup of food at 9-12 months post op and maintain that for life at your stage I was still eating 1/4 cup and then around 6months I was at 1/2cup which is where I still am I'm almost 10months post

I agree with Jesm. A cup of food is for maintenance. You are doing just fine at 1/2 cup (and from the sounds of it, you might want to do a couple spoonfuls less than that).

Don't push yourself to overeat. Just make sure you are getting your nutrition. I am 7 mos out and usually eat about 3/4 cups. A cup for life, was like the most I was supposed to be able to eat.

You're fine, don't push. Keep going on the 1/2 cup.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
