If you weren't given a diet plan were you at least give some guidelines for Protein?

What is your Protein target? (Mine is 100 grams)

How are you getting in your protein?

Are you getting at least 64 oz of Fluid?

When I was on clears, I liked ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. I was also allowed Premier Protein during the clear phase. Some people like Isopure. Bone broth is another good source of protein.

If you aren't getting enough protein them you may actually be hungry.

No. It is not a good idea to advance your diet without talking to your surgeon.

Since you were not given a post-op food plan, I would highly recommend you give them a call and get some clarification. Making it up on your own is not a very good idea.

It might not actually be hunger you are feeling because they have removed the biggest part of your stomach the part that produces the hunger inducing hormone ghrelin.

Wind can cause a hollow hunger like feeling in your abdomen. It could be you are thirsty. It could even be head hunger missing food.

Drink as much Fluid as you can preferably those containing my milk this will help. Have sugar in tea that will help too.

Your surgeon and support team should have given you a guide on what diet to follow if they haven't ask them .

You should stay on fluids meaning liquids Protein shakes and liquids Soups. For a week post op then gradually start to introduce puréed foods. Protein first, aim 65g a day. Keeps you healthy, keeps you full, helps boost weight loss.

Aim to 1.7quarts 2 litres of Fluid daily

Take B12 and a good liquid multi Vitamin mineral supplement.
