Am I Doing Okay ?

So I was sleeved on 11-12-13. Got home from the hospital on Thursday night. Yesterday was my first day home. I had 2 yogurts, one Greek, and about 6 oz of a Protein Shake. I got in at least 40 additional ounces of Fluid like Water and Decaf tea. Is this acceptable ? I have no idea if I am feeling hunger pains or pain for surgery. Stomach is very sore. I'm on full liquids.

I don't think there is a normal. Everyone is so different. Sounds ok to me. Early on its hard to determine hunger. It may be head hunger or you just need more Fluid. Follow drs orders and you will be ok.

As long as you are not pushing yourself to the point of significant discomfort it sounds like you are doing good. Really focus on staying hydrated over Protein. I normally experience slight discomfort when eating, particularly if it's something new. It never last longer than a few seconds. I did find out that when I stopped taking my pain meds that I wasn't able to eat as much. I think the pain meds mask some of the discomfort. Listen to your body and follow your docs plan. You'll be good!
