almost 3wk's out & not wanting to eat

okay I am almost three weeks out & the thought of food makes me want to . I had an egg w/ some cheese and I feel sick to my stomach! It now makes me NOT want to eat anything but drink my water and ice slushies. My question is does anyone else have this problem or had this problem? Any suggestions? At the moment I can't stop gagging and I ate the egg almost two hours ago. HELP!

some people can't tolerate eggs after surgery. It also depends on how you cook it. It may be cooked too dry. Try something else.. what about cottage cheese? It has 14 grams of protein per 1/2 cup serving and goes down great! It is my staple lol Good luck to you! April

Hi Kim! I know the feeling. I am almost 6 weeks out. I am just know finally getting to where I can eat. I was able to start eating soft - regular foods last week. Since then, I finally have my energey back and I am finally feeling recovered! For those first 5 weeks, I did not want to eat, I had to force myself to eat and I was so disappointed at the lack of energy I had. You will get though this. Just hang in there. You have to make yourself eat something. I was eating mostly yogurt and applesauce at 3 weeks./ Try that. I still cant eat eggs. I was so looking forward to geting to three weeks so I could have them and I tired them for a few days and figured out that they were what was given me lots of stomach gas build up. I hope you find what works for you. Misty

Kim, that's a normal problem at this stage. You have to make sure that what you are eating is soft and chew it until your jaw is tired before you try and swallow. Also make sure you are measuring your food so you don't try and put too much in your new pouch at one time. It WILL get better, I promise. Toni
