Just starting pureed

I am just a little over 2 weeks out from surgery and am doing well physically. I have started the pureed portion and am finding it difficult to juggle the fluids with the food. I am also only consuming very small amounts. I know I have to work up to appropriate portions but I just am not hungry and have to force myself to eat even 1-2 ounces at a meal. I am making sure to get some protein drinks in between meals. I am toleratiing food ok and haven't had any problems with anything I have eaten. Any suggestions??? Karen

Hi Karen, I still juggle food and liquids. Remember that your pouch is still swollen and learning to accept food. I know that there were days when I could eat alot and days when I could eat hardly anything. There are still days like that. It will get better. Jeanne

Thanks Jeanne. I know I need to lower my expectations and take it a day at a time. I am amazed at how well I am doing and how good I feel overall. I am excited about being on this side of the surgery and all the great stuff in store for me as time goes on. Karen
