I'm still finding it very hard to eat and it's been 2 1/2 months since my op. i awake everyday with the feeling i don't want to eat and i try to force food down which is not helping at all. Is this a normal feeling? My GP doesn't understand the procedure i've had done and its a good month away until i get to see my surgeon.
I barely eat as much as one full meal a day at the moment so taking complan to boost me

This does not sound right to me but I have not had the surgery.

Is there anyway you can talk to your surgeon by phone?

Also I am wondering if you are losing weight and how much?  That should be a concern for your PCP.  Are you keeping a calorie count of your daily intake?

I know other members who have had the surgery will be along to give you info.

I am so sorry this is happening.

Gentle Hugs to you

Yeah I've lost 1 1/2 stone (21lbs) since the op but was told i would loose weight anyway..never told how much tho!
Not done a calorie count, wouldn't have a clue where to begin but i know that it wouldn't be high!

Rangel,

I am not sure what op you had, but I had a Lap Nissen Fundoplacation about 3 years ago. While in there, the surgeon fixed my hiatal hernia. I can remember it taking a little over a month before I could eat "real" food again. I was on a liquid diet starting with pure liquids and slowly increasing the consistancy until I was good to go. Yes, I lost weight, but it was because I wasn't taking in a lot of calories. However, I was eating. I can remember purae-ing (sp?) chicken alfredo, pizza and mac n cheese. I also ate lots of jello, applesauce, mashed potatoes, pudding and popcicles. I hope this helps!!

Hi acscr9

I also had the lap Nissan Fundoplication on Oct 23rd, Began with the soft diet also. How much weight did you loose?? I'm told i should be on regular diet by now which i kinda am but just don't feel like eating food to be honest.

Am off to the GP tomorrow to see if they'll do a 'health check' on me to find out if everything else is ok
