My mind is playing tricks on me!

Ok, so I am one week post op and I feel like I am eating and drinking all day to the point that I feel like I am overeating and drinking. Im consuming about 1/4 a cup of heavy Soup (no chunks, one step above broth), I can do 3/4c of broth, yogurt cup, popsicle and another 1/4c of heavier Soup then get in most of my liquids. Does that sound right for a day?

I feel like that's a lot of food , like Im pigging out but its only 420 calories. Im feeling guilty....WTH?

Those numbers are your per day or per meal numbers. Per day that sounds about like what I have in my guide book.

Per day....I guess it feels like a lot when you've been doing Clear Liquids only for a while. Thx for the feedback!

I bet. But yea, that almost exactly lines up with what the info from my Nut says for starting out on foods. Its definitely a good thing that it feels filling. That's more or less the idea I suppose.

You can have yogurt at a week out? or am I reading that wrong? three weeks of straight up liquids here - even creamy Soup seems problematic to our nutritionist. I would have been thrilled to be able to get that much liquid in that early - sounds like you are doing great!

I would not worry unless you start drinking liquid frappacinos or milkshakes haha. When you start solid food you will come to know what restriction feels like and it is serious business You are full very, very fast.

Every surgeon is different. Mine does 1week clear, next week full liquids, next week puree and next soft solids . I've lost 13lbs in the first week and today is the first day of 2nd week.

Wow, I guess I'm lucky then because I only have1 day of clear then 2 weeks of full liquid.

Remember liquids are easier then solids, so you can probably take more right now. I thought the same thing when I was on liquids, but now that I have some semi solids I eat an ounce or two and I am stuffed....
