Yes remember the reason you did this..... to gain a healthy life!

Every doctor is different in how they tell their patients to restart

eating food, my doctor had me eating a srambled egg 1oz and cottage

cheese 5 days out. And after 3 weeks moved me up to eating anything I

wanted that wasn't super hard.- 2 oz... I have had NO problems and

have never felt hungry, I eat 3 meals a day and 1-2 snacks i am at 8

1/2 weeks now and eat between 3-4 oz of food. Always eating my

protein first then veggies/friut and once in awhile I do have a bite

or so of carbs..... anyways my point is don't make yourself go crazy

thinking you are starving ....give yourself something soft and a

little heavy, oatmeal, egg, cottage cheese and it will help satisfy

you. Also don't drink during your meals and at least 30-45 min

afterwards longer if you can.... Then it won't wash the food out of

your pouch..... GOod luck and keep your chin up.... it does get

better!!!

,

I'm sorry you have to go through the anxiety of hunger during this

time. The thoughts and advise that have been given thus far are

pretty much on target with my thoughts. While I did (still do from

time to time) have rumblings in my tumbly, I just did not " feel "

hungry. In the first 6 weeks or so, I had to constantly remind myself

to eat in order to get the protien in. Throwing up is the worst and I

can only tell you that my experiece has to do with eating to fast.

I've thrown up maybe five times in 19 weeks and hate it each time.

For me its a learning process to understand my body tolerances and be

cognisent of them each time I put something in my mouth.

I hope that you get through this period with little else in terms of

problems. I want to encourage to concentrate on your main goal, a

better life for yourself. WLS is merely a tool to help you obtain

that goal, it is up to you to make the best of it and to work with

your body and physician to achieve it. Best of luck.
