I feel totally ridiculous asking this, but I can't find the answer anywhere in my post-op diet instructions.
I know the first few weeks post-op are all about healing and not dieting. But I can't figure out how often to "eat". Heh.
My instructions are to consume Clear liquids for the first week, limiting my drinks to no more than 1/2 cup each time. Thereafter I can add thickier liquids until approx week four when I get real food! YAY!!
Anyways, I digress... back to the liquids. Am I supposed to follow the 3 meals a day thing with the liquids? Or is this only for the solid food portion of my diet.
Those of you on your post liquid diet, how often do you "eat"? :help:
(Btw, editing this post because I think I found the answer in the forums. Seems people have suggested drinking a total of 64 oz of liquids each day. That roughly equates to 1/2 c per hour for a 16 hour day... which is a whole lot of liquids. I would however still appreciate a response from someone on this. I'm soo afraid of doing something and hurting my band and/or stomach!)
