This question is best directed to your nutritionist. The reason for this is that it doesn't take but 5 minutes of reading these forums to see how extremely varied surgeons' plans for food reintroduction can be. My surgeon's was a more accelerated one - week 1: clear liquids, week 2: full liquids, week 3: purees, week 4: soft foods, etc., but I've seen others have these stages introduced much further down the line. Regardless of what stage you are on, protein and fluid intake should be your top priorities, and carbs and sugars should be as limited as possible. That one is pretty universal across the board.

Thank you my dr pretty much did the same as yours I just don't want to hurt myself I just feel hungry a lot and I shouldn't be feeling this way or Atleast feel I shouldn't be

I haven't had my surgery yet. That said, I've seen and heard a lot about 'head' hunger... are you really hungry, or is your mind hungry? Also, I've seen people talk about remembering not to drink anything 30 min before, or after, you eat. You don't want to wash down the food you do put in your stomach, especially right now while it's all soft/liquid to begin with.

Protein first. Veggies second. Fruit/bread/rice/sugar/etc last, or not at all at the beginning.

Are you getting all the protein your doctor is recommending, and still squeezing in all the Water he wants as well?

Ugh. I fear the 'head' hunger after my surgery... I have decided that taking up a new hobby might help get my mind off the food... just haven't figured out what that hobby will be ROFLMAO.

I'm trying my best to get the Protein in and liquid some days are easier then others... I've Been making myself drink these Protein drinks after so many it's just uhh before surguary they was fine now after its like they almost make me gag kinda weird.... I just don't want to eat to much or not right foods I stay away from sugars unless in my protein or in fruit... I need a hobby waiting for weather here in Ohio to warm up to walk with the baby.... I'm thankful I got the surgery but it's been difficult
