If it makes you feel any better, why don't you take all the money you will be saving on groceries and donate it to a Soup kitchen or other organization that helps feed starving kids.

I had the same thought,
I needed to justify spending the money and it was also hard for me to face the fact that it was taking a surgery and Tool to force me to stop eating so much during a single sitting. I beat myself up pretty good and for the 3 years prior to surgery before finally accepting that It was needed for me.
I can tell you this, after thinking about what the overeating had done to my health and my lifestyle, I decided that for all the money saved from previously eating out and my new lower grocery bill, I would donate the difference to support a 5th world country's population to avoid starving and suffering from health related issues caused by starvation. It doesn't solve world hunger or Obesity issues of others as a whole, but it works for me.
I am now able to better control and improve my previous eating habits that affected my health negatively and threatened to shorten my life, while at the same time, begin to give to those that need food to help their health and give them a chance to feel better also.
Don't beat yourself up! Do what it takes to make you healthier, happier and able to be more YOU!

Thank you all for your replies, seems In my efforts to get this right, i messed up. go figure. I'm not getting enough to eat... that's a first for me. I was supposed to up my intake on day 3 post op, to 3 Protein shakes a day PLUS my broth and 2 of the following: sf jello/sf popsicles. As you can see, that is considerably more than I was taking in for the past 3 days. sooo...Iso my extreme desire to make sure I didn't mess this up, did exactly that, caused me to overlook the back side of the next page of instructions and actually mess up..
thanks so much for being a sounding board for sanity. I feel way full now and will see how it goes again tonight, something tells me, it won't be as bad.
Typical for me... by fearing the worst, I cause it to happen.

4 days post OP this could be anything from a serious problem to your stomach being super sensitive.
Call your doctor, now. If nothing else they can prescribe something to take to help at bedtime.
3 oz broth 3x daily isn't enough...on Clear Liquids you should be having broth, sf Popsicles, sf Jello as often as you want, along with 48-64 oz Water, sipped at about a cup per hour you're awake.
Keep us posted on how you're doing!

I was extremely sore on day 2 as well. I'm 4 days out now and feeling a lot less sore. I put Fage greek yogurt in a Tomato base and heat that up. But, I can really only eat a 1/2 cup or so at a time.
I had a strange sensation of being hungry and full at the same time this morning. Must have been mental hunger. Read my blog to see all of the ups and downs of my post-surgery.
Congrats on your surgery!!! Yay!
