I totally understand where you are coming from. I am exactly 3 weeks post-op today and I am STARVING! I was fine during the liquid phase and now I feel like I can't get enough to eat. I am loading up on the mushy proteins, eating slowly, chewing thoroughly and eating the quantity my doctor says I should (about 1/2 C protein for each meal) but then 15 minutes later, I am hungry again. I am having my first fill a week from Friday. I am hoping it helps because this stinks! Are you still on the liquids? My doctor required 10 days of liquids.
