Ok I am nine days post op.... My diet should consit of 64 ounces of fluids and 3 pureed PROTEIN meals a day which should measure like 3-4oz, I feel that I graze the refrigerator and im not that full... Everyting seems to go down and the LEFT shoulder pain has calm down alot..... Am I eating to much????? Will it affect anything.....????

On day 9 I was allowed water, blended veggie soups (tomato, squash) and protein shakes. I was not allowed cottage cheese until day 15. I would ask if you could have a blended veggie soup and your mushie protein. Other than that I would return to your doctors orders. I know it's hard. When I moved to mushies I bought a digital scale. I measured out my food and that was it, no grazing. Again, I'm not saying it's easy but this is a will power diet for now.

I was hungry a lot and just eat zero calerie items between meals & snack like jello, broth & hot choclate. I am 3.5 wks post op and am still hungry. For awhile I was actually eating too little. I keep a on-line food diary to track my caleries, fat, protein & carbs. Always go for protein fist. If you are hungry have more protein shake. Make sure it is 15-20g protein. I sip shakes through out the day. I carry them with me everywhere. Good luck!

Ok...not to hijack your thread but I still am wondering if I'm eating too much at a time...oceangirl when you drink a protein shake do you drink the whole thing at one time? I'm eating about a cup of soup at a time and can drink a whole shake (not at the same time as the soup) I'm just scared I'm eating too much!
