Fairiefyre 0 Posted June 18, 2007 hello , i am 1 7 days post op, and i am eating mushies. i can eat about 4 oz and feel full butnot stuffed. I am not really feeling any band type feeling like I could eat more!!! MInd over matter . I have donr very well and followed instructions just worried that eating mashed potatoes and smooshed peas 4oz twice a day is too much? In the mornings i have protien shake, Water , small coffee. If iam really hungery i will make 3 oz malto meal and sweetner and runny with skim milk. So what ia m asking is am i doing this right????? lol i have days where all i want is liquids i go back and forth. help !! i need reassurance. nancy in olympia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
srsalas 0 Posted June 18, 2007 I dont think you will feel to full until you get a fill. which is 6 weeks right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joanne1970 0 Posted June 18, 2007 I'm two weeks of doing full liquids, if I never have cream of chicken Soup I will not be sad mashed potato sounds heavenly. Drink your Water. Hang in there and just look at that scale every time you want to give up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abby824 0 Posted June 18, 2007 Wow... I am on mushies too. Well, "anything that can go through a straw" and I am so tired of it. Your day sounds about like mine, cream of wheat, protien shakes and runny mashed potatoes. I don't get that "full" feeling I expected. I just stop eating because I am afraid that I am eating too much. I am so confused on what amount I should be eating. I hope it gets better after my fill!
