Im also 6 days post op..today is probaly is the best that i ever felt, I am going to actually leave the house today and go to the grocery store and visit family..my diet has been slim fast in the morning....for lunch i may have a protein shake with jello..dinner would be some form of liquid/cream soup and and maybe a pudding..im barely getting in 600 calories..but i don't feel hungry at all..i drink water or crystal light through the day....had a serious craving for pizza yesterday..watch so many pizza commercials it drove me crazy!!!...i had tomatoes soup for dinner, it actually satisfied my craving!....best of luck to you
