All I've been thinking about while on my liquid diet is eating. Now that I have the clearance to eat certain things the idea isn't as appealing anymore. Today I ate an ounce of fish for bfast (forgot my bfast, so I ate some if my lunch cause I don't want to get in the habit of skipping). I has another ounce if fish for lunch and a mini babybel light cheese circle for a snack. I've been drinking water all day. I don't want to eat, I think I'm full but I ate so little today I don't know if I'm supposed to force myself to eat to meet my protein goal. I don't know if I'm full or just don't want to eat...

It's a tough call. I worried about that at first as well. I made protein a priority and premade all me meals the day before. (I still do that!) . I explained to my nutritionist when I was 1 month out, that it was too hard to eat every 3 hours and I am always full. I asked if I could eat only when I'm hungry as long as I stick to the suggested foods for my stages. She said "absolutely". Your body will tell you. She did however, stress the importance of breakfast. I think you are doing fine! Keep listening to your body and monitoring your protein and you will continue to be successful!

Thx Stephanie! That helps. I'm actually going to see my Nut today but this is such a huge change for me. I'm used to eating whether I'm hungry or not lol I even woke up this morning w/ that same full feeling.

Hi! I just had my surgery on 4/8/14 and I feel the same way. It takes me 2 hours to eat a 5.3oz yogurt. For now I just focus on trying to get my protein and water goals daily. I'm sure it will get better with time.
