npurdy6 17 Posted October 2, 2014 I am one week today. I can only get two ounces of tomatoe Soup down and then have to come back half hour later for the rest. My stomach takes three hours for a Protein Drink to go down. That is 14 ounces GNC lean shake. So I guess it just depends on how your recovering. I agree all those nerves being cut does something to us. Good luck everybody! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becky Walker Phillips 2 Posted October 2, 2014 I am now 17 days post-op. I could drink Water, etc with no problem in the beginning. I had no trouble with the shakes, and now the Soups. However, I will say the longer post-op I've become, the harder it is to eat or drink very much. I was really hungry last night and was only able to eat about 2/3 cup of Tomato Soup and 2 sugar-free popsicles. I had my first experience on Tuesday night (this week) of eating too much. I agree with all the comments about stopping eating when you FIRST feel full. It would not stay down. Lesson learned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newu68 8 Posted October 4, 2014 All normal. I didn't feel the full sensation until I was on soft foods. Keep drinking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyOne53 36 Posted October 4, 2014 I am testing myself on puree and mushy foods. Protein Shakes and Soups are comfort foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
