I know how you feel take it slowly with toast I still find it very filling I can just do one slice but nothing else I find those Melba toast with pate or humus or Philly great for lunch
Good luck
Still on bad days I go to mash gravy and beans

I was sick today......... the first time since my op......... followed quickly by the runs. Goodness knows what set it off. It was very disappointing. I'm not eating that much as it is.
Does anyone know how many calories we should be eating 5 weeks after the op?

Being five weeks out is not the time to think about calories your body is just getting used to the new plumbing two small meals is alli have and yes some days things just don't go right if I have fresh fruit I get the runs but chocolate I am ok with sad because I used to love fruit and never been a fan of chocolates well take it easy
The main thing is plenty of fluids and protein looking back at my diary I was eating mashed potatoes gravy and beans and it was only half a tea cup size but 3 times a day and breakfast was ready break
Take care

It's not pathetic at all we all felt like that at the beginning of our journeys
The focus at the beginning is on nutrition not calories what is totally the opposite of what for years we have focused on
Good luck

Plenty of time in the future to worry about calories I know I am only days post op but my concern is proteins etc as still on clear fluids though might risk milky coffee later
