Tarno, as long as your following your instructions (which sounds like you are) your fine. Keep in mind the liquids tend to pass right through so I'm not surprised with that. I actually had the same thing post surgery. Once you start getting in more solids, you will feel full after about 4 oz.

Make sure to walk throughout the day, it will help heal, move the gas and keep things moving.

Sounds like your doing great, keep it up!

I'm with the other poster, just follow your doctor's instructions and you'll be fine. 1 hour between liquids and solids is good. I was told 30 mins bit follow what your doctor told you.

Am I eating too much ?


Am I eating too much?

Protein drink in morning
1/2 cup yogurt
Protein Water 16.9 oz throughout the day
Protein drink made with 8 oz soy milk

I feel like I don't know if I should have the Protein water and soy in addition to the 3 Protein Drinks and meals or if it's too much! I figured the soy could count as my afternoon meal and I could count the water as the evening meal
