Help!

I'm almost three weeks out and eatting mushies (egg white salad smashed, chili blended, Greek yogurt, and blended tuna) , about 2 tlb, oh and I can eat a whole scrambled egg in about an hour. Ok so here is the problem, I feel empty about 20min after I eat. Should I be eating more? Oh and I'm only able to drink 2 30g each of Protein, before they make me feel sick and 5-6 cups of Water. So I'm getting about 70-75g a day. Oh and I'm burning from 300-500 calories of the less than 600 calories a day.

One more time HELP!!!!! I'm so confused about ow much or little I should be eating.

Sounds like you're right on track. For the first 4 weeks after surgery I was supposed to eat 2 oz per meal, consisting of full liquids/purees. 2 tablespoons is generally 1 oz (or 1/8 cup), so you might not be eating quite enough - although you may be getting full on 1 oz this early out.

My nutritionist wanted me to have 75-90 grams of Protein a day, so you're on the lower end of that guideline, but that's pretty good for 3 weeks out. Your protein will likely increase as your restriction decreases and when you can move to more dense Proteins.

If you're feeling "hungry" after 30 minutes, are you drinking with meals? Or taking anything for reflux? You may have acid issues that seem like 'hunger.'

Ok yes and no. I am having a hard time waiting the full 30 mins to drink, but I have been trying to remember the last few days. I do take Pepcid and I can tell the difference. I can't say I feel hungry just empty. And kind of get foamies. Thanks for your response I do feel a little better, this is just so confusing. I love my vets!
