I wish my body would hear what I'm telling it, too...it wants something I can CHEW. The smell of the Protein shakes is awful to me right now, I just want regular food. My surgery was on the 21st, so I've had a couple of bites of refried Beans and a bit of chicken. My stomach tolerated them well, but those 2 bites of beans almost filled me up. It IS weird how our bodies are reacting to what we did to them, isn't it?
Hey, ShelterDog64 - my surgery was on 6/22. I could not get through the liquid phase. I was starving. I talked to my nutritionist and she said to go ahead and start incorporating soft foods as tolerated. It was heaven! I needed to chew something and now I am. I've had chicken salad, chunky Soups, oatmeal and cream of wheat. Another thing that really helped was juicing. My fav recipe is called Wingman - you can google it. I really struggled with the Protein Shakes making me nauseous. Talk to your nutritionist ( if you have one). No need to suffer! Good luck.
