Hi everyone, I am 11 days post-op and am healing well. Problem is, I am SO hungry! Went to my first post-op doctor's appt yesterday and was cleared for soft foods, which is great because I was literally drinking 8-10 of those Atkins Advantage Protein shakes a day - plus I'd have at least a gallon of Water, pureed Soup, etc. I'm not having my first adjustment until 12/17 and am scared because I can seriously eat SO MUCH. I lost 15lbs on the pre-op diet and haven't lost a pound since. Actually this morning the scale said I GAINED a pound. I feel like the liquids and soft foods go through me SO quickly that I don't stay full for very long... then next thing I know, my stomach's growling! I know I'm eating a ton of calories because I'm feeling sluggish, feel as if I'm retaining water, and just have that overall "food hangover" feeling. My pre-op diet consisted of fresh veggies and lean meat; both of which my nutritionist said NOT to eat right now, or else I would just go back to my pre-op diet.

Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? I'm feeling so weak and out of control

So I may have cheated a little today on my 'soft' food diet. I had to have something crunchy and all I could find were croutons....and I had 2 or 3.....and they were amazing!!!!! LOL
