Hello. Just has VSG in 3/30. I'm 9 days out & starving. Is that normal? Doc says can only have 3-4 Protein Shakes a day & SF Jello. Everyone else I speak to comes home from hospital on pureeds. Is my doc a sadist??

I will be on a clear liquid diet for one week after surgery then full liquids. I think that is pretty normal.

But what is your docs idea of full liquids? Mine is Protein Shakes only, no cal beverage, Water & broth. No Soup, no liquid purees. Nothing.

purees are considered full liquids I believe. As long as it is the consistency of a Protein Shake.< /p>

To the original poster....I have your same diet. Two weeks post op of clear liquids = protien shakes, Water, broth, SF Jello, SF popcicles. That's it.

This is my diet, too for 2 full weeks post surgery. I get to graduate to soft foods (I call it the gruel stage) on Wednesday of next week. And I will follow that stage for 6 weeks. It takes 4-6 weeks to change a behavior. I'm looking at this time as an opportunity to REALLY think about what is important to put in my mouth. If I get 50-60 grams of Protein and 64 ounces of Water in me per day, I very rarely feel hungry.

Good luck!
