I am 2 weeks post op and doing well on soft foods. I'm just curious, should I be eating 3 meals a day ? Right now I'm just eating when I get hungry, but I'm getting my Protein and liquids in with no prob.

I did not feel hunger post surgery. I was on Clear Liquids for 1 week, then full liquids for 2 more. When I went to full liquids, I had my shake in the morning then ate Soup at logical meal times to try and get a sense of normal. With the shake in the morning, I had soup 3 more times. I also was sipping Isopure all day. It made it easy to get the Protein in.

I'm on 5 small meals a day since I can't hold much more than that. Plus I get my Vitamins in that way. I don't always fit the 5 in a day but I try

I try to eat 5 times a day. Breakfast at about 7am, a snack at about 10am, lunch about noon, another snack at about 3pm and dinner about 6pm. I don't always get it in for one reason or another, but I cannot get sufficient Protein in without the Snacks.< /p>

Completely agree! Unless I end up with multiple Protein drinks I'm not finding it possible to do it on less than 5. Som edays I have 4 but that usually has a 26 g Protein shake in there.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
