Tom will be day 5 and liquids are not staying with me long. I feel full then hungry in 30 min to an hour is this normal? Any suggestions I'm trying to stay on diet plan!!!

I can have greek yoghurt now.Never cared for it before but now I love it! Lol! That is what over a month of liquids will do! 1tblspn gr yog mixed with low sugar juice in a kind of smoothie and I am stuffed.Also made a salty soup broth with a chicken (bones also) and veges then strained it.Anything liquid or very runny with good protein is definitely the way to stop any hunger.Day 12 and it is soooo much easier.Forgetting to eat and drink now and filling up very fast.I start purees in 2 days.Yay!

I am loving sharing experiences it helps so much!!

Yes-a big thank you to everyone-this is so helpful.

Lessismore67 why one month on liquids? Are you including pre-op diet.

Hi diddylou.Yes, I was including the 2 week preop protein shake diet.My puree stage is for 4 weeks before soft food is allowed.How about you? How are you feeling with the increased protein now?

Lessismore .... Feeling much better with protein. I actually has 500 calories and 69 grams of protein. I made black bean soup mixed it with lowfat cheese and liquified it in the blender. It is wonderful and I feel like I had a meal:-) I have a long way to go before soft foods but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. How are you doing?

When can I start the proton shakes? I drank coffees or first time

Protein shakes were allowed for me as soon as I got home from the hospital.

Hi diddylou.I am learning about my new tummy -thanks for asking! I was disappointed and frustrated when I got so hungry so soon after the op.Now I am filling up very quickly on small amounts already and my hunger is gone if I have protein.Once I move onto soft food in a month I think it will get even better:)
