I'M NOT EATING MUCH???????

HELLO EVERYONE I HAD SURGERY 8/30 I AM DOWN -64 POUNDS AND FEEL REALLY GOOD. BUT I HAVE NO APPETITE, I'M LUCKY IF I EAT ONCE A DAY. I LIVE ON CARB COUNTDOWN MILK AND I MIX CARNATION INSTANT BREAKFEAST IN THAT TWICE A DAY AND I DRINK LIKE 5 CUPS OF COFFEE A DAY.WHEN I DO TRY TO EAT I FEEL WEIRD.I'LL EAT A PROTEIN BAR OR HALF OF A BANNANA,SOMETIMES HALF OF BAGEL WITH CREAM CHEESE.DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IS THIS A STAGE I'M GOING THREW. PLEASE HELP

I was like that for a while, wish I still was! I snack too often. But when I was not hungry, my doc told me that if I was not hungry I could skip a meal. It may be a stage and/or could it be the caffeine in the coffee? I am not sure how caffeine affects our pouch. Maybe that is part of the problem? I know that caffenine robs your body of water so that when you do have caffenine, you have to drink extra water to make up for it. I am not sure how else it affects us. Susan

HI! Tracy, I, too, had surgery on 08/30 and I have SELDOM ever WANTED to eat. My Doc is one of those Docs that wants you to eat 6 meals a day!! That would take me about 48 hrs to do that!! LOL!!! I do drink protein drinks - I usually eat oatmeal in the morning, protein shake for lunch, a few nuts in the afternoon and then supper ??? - sometimes another protein shake or maybe a bite or two of chicken or stew with beef in it or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter or nothing!! So, I'm not sure what the answer is - because I have the same problem and always have. I just wanted you to know that you are not the only one who worries about this. I take my vitamins - but I want to be HEALTHY and I don't think I am - although my lab work ALWAYS comes back GREAT!!! I'm going to watch this post and see if anyone can help! Have a GOOD DAY!
