Hello. I'm 4 weeks out and the last couple of days I have been having trouble eating. Food or shakes make me gag. Today I ate a cup of soup which was so hard to get in. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

    I'm sorry you are having trouble. It is very important that you stay hydrated, so if nothing else, please keep taking in liquids! If food makes you gag, then have some broth. Are you able to keep your vitamins down? I would keep this up until you are able to eat, and then stay with pureed foods for a little while. Also, let your doctor know everything that you are doing!

    Make sure you are sipping slowly. You can't gulp anythng because the air enters your stomach and take up room. Your stomach is very small.
