So Surgery was May 31st.. and I'm getting pushed to eat every couple hours even though I fee like I've just had a gourmet meal. I know I need to get my Protein and nutrition in but is this normal? I don't enjoy having my nurses really push me when I feel legitimately full and like more food will make me sick. Thoughts?

You are still in the hospital? Did you have complications?

I only stayed over night and the nurses never brought me any food to eat. Just ice chips and Water.

I don't think they should be pushing you...what are they making you eat? If you feel full then you should speak up and not eat, you need to heal

I would ask them what the concerns are - and see if there is something your team is watching, or if they are just following general protocol.

I would think they want you to eat to be sure you able to take in foods at regular intervals and keep it down before they release you... Since you don't feel like eating it probably feels like they are pushing you... Along with the fact we normal eat when we want not when someone else decides

No complicated except fixing a hiatal hernia and stricture of my esophagus from it (which is part of why it's hard to eat) .. I don't think it's so much anything they're watching but that they that they want to be sure I get in all my Protein. I'll just stick to eating regularly - when I do feel up to it and watching my Protein and Fluid intake. I get to go home today so then at least I can get away from them.

All they did was make he drink fluids, but eat anything. I have 3 weeks liquid, 2 weeks puréed and then onto soft foods.

When I was in the hospital they only forced me to walk. The doctor made sure I had plenty of Iv fluids so I wouldn't be dehydrated.

I'm home now.. I've fixed myself some Tomato Soup with fairlife Protein enhanced milk and am trying to get it down.. Just that couple of ounces make me so full. Thought liquids if drunken slow you could drink more at a time agh.. (Not that I can much I'm just worried about not getting my Protein in. )

      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?

      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.
