Keep the faith.

You can eat real food only after 10 days? I am 7 days post op and am struggling with what to drink/eat..... Last night was the first time I felt hungry and I don't want to screw this up. I have lost 12 lbs so far.

Seems I cannot find the instructions from the doctor on what to drink/eat and the timeline. I have been drinking clear broths and G2 and carnation instant breakfast, there has to be something else. Any tips would be helpful.

WOW! Down 19lbs. Keep up the great work. I'm four days behind you and I'm down 14lbs.

Think like the litte red engine that could "I think I can", "I think I can", "I think I can" "Whoot!, Whoot!"

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. As for ginadon- My post op diet was up to day 3 clear liquids, up to day 7 full liquids, up to day 10 soft food (fish, chicken, well cooked veggies, egg, tuna, chicken salad, eggs...etc) and starting day 10 was normal food MINUS the carbs of course. I was like you, not hungry until about day 7 or 8...the doctor told me if I am not hungry, not to eat...simple really! until your brain says otherwise. Best of luck to you!
