Am I eating enough?
I am 2 weeks out today. I am down 32 pounds. I don't think I am eating enough. My surgeon says we need to eat 4 meals a day. I only eat like 2-3. I'm told I need to eat a cup of food at a meal. I can't get it in. I try I just can't do it. a Typical day goes like this. breakfast- 5 bites of oatmeal Lunch- 4 rice crackers with peanut butter (1 tbsp total) Dinner- egg salad. I drink water throughout the day I beleive I am up to 35 oz now I try and increase it everyday. I cannot do protien shakes they make me really sick. Do you think this is normal? I think it is. last week I was only eating a total of 10 spoons of food a day,and that was a realy good day. Any pointers what should I do?
