I am two weeks post-op and unsure if I am doing this correctly. (long)

I am 15 days post op, and at 10 days post op I was down 13 lbs. Then not a thing since. I havent been able to get all my water in or my protein. I rarely have an appetite and when I do, I am not sure of what to eat. Eggs and beans are fine, but other than that, a full source of *soft* protein is hard to find. I feel that having potatoes and other soft carb-like foods will hinder my loss. Also sometimes when I drink from a glass, it hurts the stoma to swallow. Small sips from a straw sometimes helps. Its like sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesnt. I have been working hard to get into my vitamin routine, and exercise, but its hard when I barely eat. Once a day twice at the most. Im generally not hungry, but know I need to eat and DRINK. I was a super hydrated person before and now nothing. I know I will be a slow loser, but this is not what I imagined. I physically feel like i never had surgery (pain free and such), but now the thought of eating is stressing me out. HELPPPPPPP!!!!! Thank you! Rachel~
