I am 4 days post op and I can eat about four and half oz of cream based Soups. I want to know if that is normal. And not all at once over a period of 40 minutes.

I am 4 days post op as well and I am able to eat about 1/4 can of cream Soup, which I'm sure equals about 4.5 oz. what was your directed post op diet?

I can have cream based Soups, SF Jello, SF ice pops, low fat cottage cheese, etc full liquid diet. I was thinking 4.5 oz was a lot

I think the term "clear liquid" just varies from doctor to doctor. I've seen some people allowed Protein Shakes in the first week, where as I've got to wait after the first week. My cream Soups though are extremely thinned out haha. I prefer to play it safe.

I'm 3 days post op. I can't have cream Soup yet. And oh how I'd love to!! Clear broth is not that tasty. But I'm doing well and am able to get all my fluids in. So I'm thankful.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
