Um...Beth is right, though I am confused. Malnutrition is part and parcel for this surgery. It's the early days out when your only 5 weeks post op. Your still on a HUGE learning curve and just now getting solids in. Those days I think getting 500 calories in a day was a chore. Don't worry yourself over going into starvation mode, it happens, it's supposed to. Your weight loss levels out, and stops being so drastic, your body adjusts and whammy your over the 'honeymoon' phase. Best of luck...
