Are you eating too fast? Maybe some foods are irritating to your insides. I would speak with your doc or nutritionist. I know 2 weeks out I could eat yogurt but now it seems 1/2 of a yogurt is hard to get down, not sure why. Hope you figure it out and let us know.

I have a similar situation, I CANNOT drink the protein drinks, make me feel VERY full feeling after a sip or two, the wait, then sip or two, but after an hour or more, I am not half done with one can of protein. Have tried powdered proteins, liquids, all kinds and makes, and cannot get them...

Glad you are home, hope it is for good. The first weeks are tough, no doubt about it and I am still in it, not eating much without getting a really full, full feeling. I eat almost nothing all day and drink less!! I did have blood work thinking I was dehydrated and it came back normal so...

Important update- I had blood work and surprise to find out my electrolytes, Protein and A/G ration, kidney function and CBC are ALL normal. My skin is very dry, skin turgor has tenting but blood work wise I am FINE. That makes me feel better, I do not get a lot of fluids or protein in...

I am saying that instead f 64 oz of fluids I am lucky to get 8 oz and instead of 60 grams of Protein I am lucky to get 10grams. I know some think I am not correct but I know what is happening. I eat a little scrambled egg starting at 10 am and at 11:30 I am not finished eating one scrambled...

I have not lost ONE pound this WEEK 4 weeks out and eating almost nothing due to nausea after eating very small amt! So I would be very glad to have 17 down!

I called my nutritionist and she says because hot foods go down better so eat hot foods more, BUT drinking fluids is more important so she says. I am not getting in a whole bottle of fluds in, in a day. I feel weak, discouraged but plodding on!

Dragonfly I do not think the stage of food is what is my problem, I just can't get in the protein and fluids no matter what food or liquid!! I am not throwing up, just get kind of green with small amts of food or drink. Like cottage cheese I can eat in total over and hour time maybe a 1/4...

Jules, thanks for your reply. I WISH the problem ws eating too fast and not chewing more. 1/4 cup of cottage cheese can take and hour to eat and then there is some left. WHY? because I feel totally full after a half teaspoon full. I sip on fluids and small sips and after about two I again...

what are the pills and chewable pills names? I took one Ducolox tablet(very small tablet and very big results)! But after taking it thought maybe should not have done that since it could be too harsh but seemed to be ok. BUT in about 6 hrs you do not want to be out shopping or in the car if...

I cannot tolerate a smoothie as of today, the protein drink in it whether powder or liquid does not settle well, make me nauseated. I try it every few days but still not doing well whether it is liquid, powder, lactose or non lactose. it is hard, I know I am not getting the proteins I need...

I do sip sip sip but I get full too easily since maybe have taken in 3-4 sips in 15 minutes and I am full. Protein is a big problem. Today for lunch I rolled up two small pieces of cold cut chicken with one piece of thinly sliced Jarlesburg light cheese and put a little mustard on it and ate...

Me2012 I was responding to hs statement saying "I am on soft solids" and then went on to say he ate rice. Rice is far from soft solid. That is all I was saying, if on soft solids, should not be having rice or salad, apples etc. That is all. NO offense meant at all.

IT is Phenergin it is an antihistamine used for nausea. IT can make you very tired however. I would like to eat without use of meds. I just want to get in the amt of proteins I should be getting in and fluids as well. I think if I had blood work it would show dehydration and very low...

HI Dragonfly, I cannot eat much without being really nauseated. I found that Wendy's chile goes down easily and has a lot of protein with the beef and beans. We made some today(internet recipie) but with ground Turkey and it is GREAT!!! Google Wendy's Chili recipe and we used the first one...

YOU are supposed to be on pureed foods not sockeye salmon and rice. What were you thinking? Stick to the pureed foods I would say. I am having a huge problem getting in much at all 4 weeks post op this Monday. I cannot tolerate the protein drinks, now yogurt was hard to get down and only...

The problem is that I cannot drink the protein drinks, they really make me nauseated and have tried all kinds, with and without lactose. My honey made me some Wendy's chili and thanks for the suggestion of putting cheese on it for more protein. will have for supper and see how that goes...

Ya, at this point I am having trouble getting any food in, I could not get more than a half of small yogurt in today but then later in day tried Jarlsburg sliced cheese and got two thin slices down and a slice of deli chicken coldcut down. GOT to get the proteins in. Making Wendy's Chili which...

I am having a hard time, I am NOT getting in much food or drink. Today, I went to eat a 5 oz Yoplait Greek Yogurt 100 calorie and was only able to eat abut 1/2 of it. Sipping fluids after (30 min) the yogurt. I am definitely not getting in even half of the protein and a bottle of water a day...

Do any of you eat salad with lettuce, tomato and cukes? I sure did love my salads and now feel I am missing them but I am only 3 and half weeks out so on stage 3 but wondering once I get to stage 4 and a few months out, can I ever eat salads again? I am having a terrible time with protein, my...
