Hang in there--the liquid phase is the worst part. Just stay strong and stick to plan and try to find whatever diversions you can (walking helps bc it raises your endorphins). You should be rewarded with a pretty good weight loss during this time! Just part of the process, albeit a challenging one. Take care.

I was hungry soon after surgery too, don't worry when you start to eat you will get full incredibly fast. I feel the need to eat about every 3 hours, but I cant eat very much.

It will get much better. It seems that hunger soon after surgery is a common issue. I was hungry too. A few more weeks post op and I'm never hungry. During the first couple of weeks I really thought I would starve or pass out from hunger. Now I eat because I'm supposed to. The only real want of food is in my mind. I wonder if that ever goes away? I can't eat much at all before I'm full.

I had the same. But as your start eating Protein, it takes very little to fill you up. Alot of times I think I am hungry and Water is what my body needs. The signals are all kind of the same now.

Good to know this gets easier! I'm a little over 2 weeks post op and think I'm going to starve to death sometimes

I am 2 weeks post op and I swear I am starving. I have to wait until Monday to start my Protein Shakes. That should keep nice in full. It did on my pre-op.

Yea, i had post op appt yesterday and they acted surprised i hadnt started Protein Shakes yet, well i was just following their diet plan. I started them today and feel a little better but still real weak and tired. I just think my body has went so long with no Protein its tired so hopefully after couple days of protein i will feel better. I have lost 15 lbs since last wednesday

That's good. I actually called my nut and asked if I was supposed to stay on Clear Liquids or could I take some of the Protein Drinks and she said no, I had to stay on clear. Not only am I weak but my eyes are really dark. Maybe because I don't have any Protein. Well at least I can start on Monday. Or if I am lucky tomorrow. I have an appointment with both the nut and to take out the staples. Yay me!

Have y'all tried the Unjury chicken Protein? You can add it to your clears.

I have no idea what that is.... is it in a bottle or something? can I find it a Walmart? Any other suggestions?

Where do you find this? What is it?

[TES 858]

will they let you add Protein Powder to clear liquids (like Crystal lite or Mio) or no Protein at all? Adding to clear liquid would still technically be a clear liquid vs a full liquid diet. My surgeon told us that protein the first 2 weeks after surgery is critical to healing and to preventing future Hair loss.< /p>
