newat52 1,613 Posted June 5, 2013 I did not feel hunger post surgery. I was on Clear Liquids for 1 week, then full liquids for 2 more. When I went to full liquids, I had my shake in the morning then ate Soup at logical meal times to try and get a sense of normal. With the shake in the morning, I had soup 3 more times. I also was sipping Isopure all day. It made it easy to get the Protein in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristineR 128 Posted June 5, 2013 I'm on 5 small meals a day since I can't hold much more than that. Plus I get my Vitamins in that way. I don't always fit the 5 in a day but I try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMO 193 Posted June 5, 2013 I try to eat 5 times a day. Breakfast at about 7am, a snack at about 10am, lunch about noon, another snack at about 3pm and dinner about 6pm. I don't always get it in for one reason or another, but I cannot get sufficient Protein in without the Snacks.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless I end up with multiple Protein drinks I'm not finding it possible to do it on less than 5. Som edays I have 4 but that usually has a 26 g Protein shake in there.
