yeah, he said only to eat three times a day, and made sure i understood my stomach is only as big as my thumb, and to drink when im not eating, that was it

and so i am eating three times a day, and feel full after i eat, but i also feel full after i drink about 1/4 cup of fluid and that full feeling lasts a long time, if i try to drink when i have that feeling, it hurts and can come back up, so i dont push it, but it can take two hours for me to drink again, so that is why i am not getting in enough of anything....for some strange reason i can drink more propel than water right now, so i am just so i can get some fluids down, but i am noticing that my skin is suffering because of the lack of hydration, my skin is very dry and in places cracking, that worries me a bit, i am really really trying

thanks for your support, i dont know what i would do without the site.

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.
