Post Surgery Got Some Questions

[griega232 23]

Just had my surgery on the 15th, at first I couldn't even hardly swallow sips of Water and now all of a sudden almost a whole Protein Shake goes down. I also was able to eat a whole yogurt, some Soup, and Decaf tea is my new best friend. My question is, am I drinking too much? Is it odd that I can eat a whole yogurt?? Just want to make sure I'm not hurting my self, any feedback would be great!!!!!

I think you would still be on liquids at this time. I was eating a 1/4 cup of food for the longest time. I would check with your surgeon and see what he/she has to say. good luck.

Most of us don't truly have a lot of restriction until we get to solid food... and then, whoa baby, do we have restriction! I could barely eat half a scrambled egg when I started soft solids, but I'd been able to drink plenty of liquid, including Protein Shakes and yogurt, before that.

Greiga, it sounds like you're doing fine with your liquids. Keep up the good work.

I had surgery on 8/14 and am on full liquids until next week. I can drink Clear Liquids no problem but my Protein Shakes make me feel what I assume is "full". I had Tomato Soup last night for the first time and I stopped at about 2.5 oz with that same full feeling.

I think we are all trying to figure out the new feelings of hunger and full, I would call the NUT and just run it by him/her.
