How much did you eat post op?

Okay, so I am 11 days post op and starting to seriously get my appetite back. Last night I noticed that I was actually hungry and ate my whole dinner of 1 scrambled egg and 1/2 cup of soft beef stew. This morning I had to run errands so I stopped by mcdonalds and got the oatmeal and one egg sausage mcmuffin for my daughter. I took two bites of her mcmuffin (excluding the muffin.. Only sausage and egg) and had about 1/4 cup of oatmeal and now I'm full.

I'm just wondering what you ate 11 days post op and how much. I don't want to mess anything up but I'm also scared of over eating because I don't have restriction.

I was on full liquids on day 11 (full liquids days 8-14) so I would have had Soup, Protein Shakes, and probably some pudding. Portion wise I'd say the amount you're eating sounds fine.

I'm 9 days post-op and I'm still on Protein shakes and non caloric liquids. I can't eat any mushie foods yet. I go see my surgeon for my post-op appointment next Thursday, I hope she says I can begin mushies because I so want to feel a textured food in my mouth lol.

Rachel, what is your eating like now? I'm trying to find healthy mushies to eat.. Mashed potatoes don't settle well with me..

Babs, you might want to start using a tracker like Daily Plate. At day 11 I was still on Clear Liquids ( and about ready to eat my left arm). When I did get to eat mushies someone suggested chicken salad, canned chicken, low fat mayo, and dill relish, it tasted like heaven. I also made my own apple sauce by pureeing apples in my blender with the skin on but cored of course and then cooking them well. Don't add sugar and over ripe apples work great I like mine with cinnamon.
