I am 9 days post op and have to stay on liquid for 21 days. I am hungry and not sure how I will get through on broth and protein shakes for 12 more days. I go in for my 2 week Monday and hoping they will have suggestions on anything other than broth and protein shakes. Feeling discouraged today

I had mine done 1/21 and have felt the same way with hunger and failure fear. The last few days have been better and it is getting easier to focus on the end goal. You are not alone.

I am not a good one to ask because I've gotten so hungry I had an egg and last night I ate some of my kids chicken breast. I know I'm not supposed to, but the chicken breast is the first time I felt full, not stuffed but full. I don't know how many protein shakes I should have. By like 1pm I've had 60 grams of protein. I have my follow up next week so I'll see what they suggest.
I have a coffee protein shake for breakfast-20grams
A premier protein water-20grams
Premier shake for lunch-20grams.......so by 1 I'm at 60...can you have too much protein in a day.

Good luck

I drink Premier Protein ready to drink shakes....my favorite is caramel!

Hi All. I am 7 days post op and hungry. I haven’t had any problems except hunger. The protein shakes make me gag and the broth is broth. I didn’t have issues with the protein shakes before but they are too sweet now. I have liquids for 2 more weeks. I am hoping the protein shakes are less yucky as time goes on. I am so grateful for this forum!
