how much did you eat 16 days post op- surgery was July 15th

Surgery July 15th and feeling good, still feel like I'm hungry a lot. curious how much others are eating at this stage? Today I had oatmeal for Breakfast, not whole pack. 3/4 maybe. lunch Beans, 2oz approx. snack few almonds. dinner 1 scrambled egg. at my 1 week post op appt i was down 23 lbs , that includes the week bf surgery which was liquid only.

I worry I am eating too much. I go back to work Monday so hoping that will help subside this hunger i have.

Not much, I was still on mushy foods. Maybe 300-400 calories. Mainly protein drinks but everyone's different so do what your surgeon says. I'm 8 months post-op and should be at 1200 calories, I get 800. I just do my best!

I'd say re-count your protein, and make sure you're getting enough, with what you ate you listed, to be honest it doesn't look like it. I had my sleeve on June 30 and if you're like me, there is no way you can eat enough protein that you need. My surgeon said I should be getting 60gms of protein a day. And realize through this forum and research that most surgeons instruct that regime for healing and to keep us satisfied. Really because protein stays with you longer than anything else you could ever eat. My favorite protein powder is Isopure Dutch chocolate, with no sugar, only stevia in it, pure whey protein and no carbs. You can buy at GNC stores...When I have my protein shake with two scoops of protein powder with 16 ounces of almond milk, I am not hungry at all most of the day. When I don't I'm hungrier, I've tried some days without. also, drinking 60 ounces of water helps me not be hungry either. So, ask your Doctor/ nurse but that's what most are recommending...
