I am about 4 weeks post op. Yesterday for breakfast I had 2 light cracker with potted meat on them, lunch was a cheese stick and about 3 spoonsful of sf jello, for dinner I had 2 more craker with potted meat. Someone please tell me if I am eating enough.

What are your surgeon/nutritionists instructions regarding eating this early out? Most people early out are only eating a few scant ounces at a sitting. Some of us, were doing protein shakes in addition to small meals but I know that not every surgeon does that. Kathy

First: I agree with Kathy... follow your surgeon's advice first and foremost. Second: At your point in this journey (I'm 11 months out now) I focused on nutrition and not so much the quantity. Even now there are days when I don't each much and other days that I think I eat TOO much. Shoot for Protein first, then veggies, and then fruit. Of course water/liquid is important too, and always take your vitamins. Just hang in there; you are just at the starting point of really adding food. It will get easier with time. Take care and don't hesitate to ask questions. Hugs, Tammy -125/25 pounds to goal 11/29/2005 RNY
