Default Need some advice!

I had my Gastric Bypass Surgery on 4/2/08. Aside from my very difficult recovery period, I am now facing a new issue. I am not able to eat most things. The list of things I can eat is much smaller so I will share that with you.... popsicles, eggbeaters, pudding, jello, peanut butter. I vomit atleast
1x daily if not 2x daily. I don't feel like I am getting any nutrition what so ever. I have lost 42 pounds since 4/2 but am worried that I am only losing because I am not really eating.

I had an appt with my surgeon and doctor and they both indicated to keep trying and that it is too early to do anything yet. However, if in a month if I am still vomitting they may want to put a tube down my throat and try to expand the intestine a bit. The concern with that is that I may want to consume more (so they say) - but shouldn't I be consuming something!!!!

Has anyone else faced this?

I'm feeling extremely frustrated over this.
