In the hospital I had Apple juice and jello only when I tolerated it. Came home and had cottage cheese twice a day and plenty of fluids. Today I had a protein shake, plenty of water and had 1/4cup cr soup for my first meal, 1/4 cup puréed chicken salad for my second. And a piece of deli turkey with a piece of cheese rolled up and chewed til it was mush. I also had a sugar free Popsicle in between. Now that the day is done it seems like a lot to me. Is that a lot to have for post op day 4? My guide says no, but my mind is thinking wow that's a big change from the other days. Do you think I'm over doing it?!

I feel the same way. I am 5 days post op and I am not thirsty I am just hungry. I haven't had much water but when I get up I have a bowl of jello later a yogurt and later I had a bowl of cream of chicken. Today I had 3 5.3 oz greek yogurts a 6.3 oz yogurt and 1 16.9 oz water. I am still hungry and my stomach does growl. I am si confused

I was only allowed liquids for the 1st week post-op. It was still hard to get 64 oz in a day.

Did your doctor or nutritionist give a recommended guideline? I was full liquids for first 2 weeks but still encouraged to get to as close to 60gms protein & 48ounces of water as possible. I did it with protein drinks & soups. It got pretty boring & yes I was a little hungry on occasion, but then it was puréed then soft & now it's whatever I can tolerate but still 60gms protein & 48 - 64 ounces of water.

Yes I am on full liquid now for about 3 weeks. I am suppose to have cream soups strained and yogurt the Greek yogurt was not suppose to start in 3 weeks when I move to soft foods. I just don't feel different.

Different like what? I hear people saying like didn't expect to feel hungry. I did early on and still do, but when my belly feels full I stop.

I can have puréed foods but need to put most of my focus on liquids so I don't get dehydrated.

No. I've been on pureed since post op day 2. I haven't tried pureed meat yet but the guide says I can.
