today is better, i had some cottage cheese this morning and working on mashed potato with sour cream right now then soup for supper, but i get full so easily which is a great feeling, but difficult as i cant get in what i need to

thanks my angel
Hey Carrie....first off, I do......really I do......remember how hard it was early out. Even the thought of most foods could set me to nausea. Blech! That is why I used dry milk, milk, yogurt, and supplements as much as I could tolerate. I won't advise going against your doc, but have you clarified that the 3 meals applies at this point? To me, early out, they aren't really meals yet. I encourage you to clarify with them and tell them how little you are taking in. We want you HEALTHY! Keep hanging in there.....it gets better.
