    Default Can't eat much

    Having a hard time eating at all. Not hungry. Trying to eat grrek yogurt but I can only eat a little bit. Don't feel too bad though.not nauseus. Just kind of tired and trying to relax. My mother, who lives with me, says " I hope you don't lose your taste for food" I said I don't think we need to worry about that!

    Might try something thinner most docs have people wait a week or two for something as thick as greek yogurt. I'd stick to liquids. My doc allowed full liquids first week but see most people are on clears here. Make sure to get your protein through shakes and your vitamins and you'll be fine nutrition wise.

    Completely normal. I didn't eat much the first week. I didn't want anything. It will get better. You will not starve and you will want to eat again. Your mom can rest easy.

    I was on all liquids for 2 weeks and then had to thin everything with milk for another 2 weeks. I drank a lot of Premire Protein shakes. I still drink at least one a day. It helps me get in my required amount of protein.
    Good luck to you. You’ll do great!
