Any suggestions on food tolerance and eating
I am 52 days post-op and down 54 pounds (a pound a day for now); am getting my protein 65 grams; almost getting most of vitamins (some days it is such an effort); have no complaints about how I feel & full of energy. My problem is food - it became too complicated waiting to drink after meals at work - so I go to the gym at 4 am - and stop drinking (water/teas) at 9 am - about 2 liters. At work I have yogurt/farina or oatmeal for bfkfst - after that I cannot get any more food in - I wait as late as 3 pm to try lunch (soup/tuna/or egg salad) - won't stay down - or I get that full feeling immediately (my pouch is 2 ounces) then when I get home I'm so hungry I end up eating too fast (my fault) - so that won't stay down either - I need help I'm really hungry but find it such a task to eat. On weekends I have no problem - because I can take 5 hours to eat a few tbspns of tuna or I can drink all day - Longer Post-ops I'm open for suggestions. - I guess I should stay on fluids longer - but I am terrbly hungry - Thanks.
