Has anyone else shared this experience? My surgery was on 3/5. From that day until my post-op appointment on 3/10 I was on clear liquids only. Until my next appointment on 3/24 I am only to drink 3 EAS shakes per day. That is only 330 calories a day. I'm feeling almost back to normal and am pretty sure I have physical hunger AND head hunger. I think I really need some encouragement.

I know how you feel. My doc wanted me to do 3 weeks of liquids after every fill. I was getting really creative with my liquids (tuna fish with a lot of mayo can be a liquid right?) wrong.... any way. I feel your pain, so just stick to it! We are here behind you.:thumbup:

These doctors are all over the board on what they want us to consume. I was on clear liquids for 3 days, then mushies for 5 weeks -- and yes I cheat on the mushies -- just had an orange and boy was it good!

4 weeks of clear liquids, plus (3) Protein shakes a day. 5 weeks of mushies, then 1 solid food at a time for a week each.

I am still on preop diet, but I am sooooo ready for solid foods.
