So I transitioned to soft foods a few days ago. I fill up very quickly, but I notice that within two hours I am hungry. Not acid churning hungry, I am HUNGRY!!!

Typical?

I'm supposed to eat 3 meals per day of Protein or veggie/fruit with 1 or 2 Protein shakes a day. The protein shakes seem to help curb the hunger for a bit, but this is more hunger than I felt on liquid diets!!!

I eat whenever I am hungry. Mostly Protein.

I also drink a lot of fluids in between which, a lot of times, takes away that hungry feeling.

Works for me. In fact i have to remember to eat.

Fox-e I am the same way, I eat a couple bites every couple of hours. It's a pain in the butt. Like one slice of deli ham stuffs me. A couple of spoonfuls of sf pudding or jello will help. I still drink 2 protein shakes a day to get enough protein in. But mine is real hunger. I have never had head hunger I can listen to my stomach and didn't have gas pains except for one small one in my left shoulder about 4 days post op. So you are not alone.

im just learning what it actually feels like to be Hungry, before surgery i would just eat constantly, so i was never actually hungry, now, every once in a while i get butterflies in my belly and i know its time to eat. strange trip!
