I am 8 days post op and have started on soft foods along with the liquids. My hunger is back so this is going to be a long three weeks until my first fill. Fortunately tuna is a great protein and so is fish which makes you stay filling fuller longer! Chew, chew, and then chew some more before swallowing. My timeline of what I am eating was well planned by the doctor and dietician prior to my surgery, I wanted no surprises and pre planning for success was my goal!
