Question:
How do I gain control? I feel I have lost it.

I am 2 weeks postop. Everything went fine with the surgery? Glad to be home after an infections that kept me in the hospital 2 extra days. The whole eating thing seems to be overwheleming. I don't feel like eating at all but do drinks the water and the protein grams take me all day but I get them down. They say to watch out for the runs but I am doing the oppsite. I have only lost 7 pounds and I feel down. What can I do to get control back.    — Janet P. (posted on June 26, 2001)

You are in control. If you do not feel like eating, don't. Just make sure you get your protein in with protein drinks and get enough water in. Try very soft foods again in a few days.
