Portion of Food, 9th day post op



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I'm now on 9th day post-op.

I'm just concerned about the portion/amount of liquid food (now only Soup and yogurt).

I didn't have neither food or drink until the 4th day post-opI started small around 2 tablespoons per meal but the last two days I felt so tired with low energy so I decided to increase the amount to 3.5 Ounces for lunch and dinner,

I eat 4 times a day but for the afternoon I eat a bit less than other meals.

I'm not hungry. I eat for energy but it's weird that I don't feel the pressure of fullness neither!! Now I'm not sure if I eat too much or not enough?!! > <

Could anyone please advice me on this?? I'd highly appreciate it. Thank you.

PS. From 1-5 days post op I lost 7.7 lbs, then I lost between 0.9 - 2 lbs per day.

So far I've lost 12.98 lbs.

Full liquid only (no restriction except 1 glass of juice only allowed in the morning which I don't drink) & 1 litre of Water per day.

Eat slowly at least 45 minutes per meal.

Eat 4 times a day on fixed hours.

At the hospital they served me 1 cup of tea or coffee + sugar for Breakfast

For lunch & dinner was clear or liquid Soup & plain yogurt & fruit pureed

Now I eat only yogurt, fruit pureed and soup.

      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.
