Your body has to get used to eating again. Are you just recently coming off a liquid diet? Did your surgeon give you some eating guidelines? They are all very different. You didn't say what kind of foods are giving you trouble. I only had problems with fish. I have a good friend who is having this problem, he had a lot of trouble with dairy at first. You need to be getting lots of protein in, eggs, low fat milks, low fat cheeses (if you can handle the dairy), when you are ready, try fish, try chicken and turkey. For the first few weeks I existed on eggs and yogurt. Yogurt went down very easy. You have to take each day slowly. Eat slowly, chew well. When you feel ready, try something new. If you are having a hard time, at least try to get some protein drinks in. They will really make you feel better. As for depression, it is quite normal. You are not eating away your feelings <!--more--> any longer. Make sure you get outside and take walks, drink lots of water, and talk to people either online or just some friends. If you don't know of them, www.obesityhelp.com or www.wlsfriends.com are both two good message boards for support. Try them. I wish you all the best. Pam Shannon,
