3 bites???

Ok, I know I am different from most but I am really worried here. I get 3 bites of food down and then start sneezing my head off and I am full. 3 bites!!!!!! Doc wants me to eat 5 to 6 times a day at 3 bites. 6 times a day 60 minutes after each time before I can drink. Stop drinking 45 minutes prior to eating. It is not possible unless I am awake and eating or drinking 24 hours a day. I know there are some others out there that are not able to eat much, but 3 bites?? Yes I am repeating myself. For 2 weeks since they opened the stricture I have been fighting to get something in and all I can do is the 3 bites. I have tried stopping for 5 min between bites but then I only get one or 2 bites in. I am at a loss here yall. Any suggestions??? Oh I can't do protein shakes cause they all make me ill. So I am not getting hardly anything in. HELPPPPP

I was initally under the 30 minutes before/30 minutes after rule which my nutritionist changed when I was 8 weeks post-op to 15 minutes before/ 30 minutes after. Have you tried the Stallone Protein Pudding? 20 grams in the container. It tastes pretty good. Many places sell it - GNC, Vitamin Shoppe...but drugstore.com seems to have it mismarked and they are selling the 4 packs for $1.99 where it is $6.00 or higher elsewhere. Give some a try. Do what you can! Best wishes, Kathy

Kat, After my stricture I did alot of Tomato soup, I mixed it with carb milk (which great now they lowered the protein in it) and also added some no flavor protein powder. This may be easier to get down than the protein drinks and really any cream soup can be used. You may also need to be dialated again, it took 3 times for me, if it gets worse make sure you let your doc know. Cary
