I was taking fluids well one day after surgery so they removed Iv's and gave me a meal: applejuice and jello and broth. It tasted so good. But I know what you mean about getting tired of some of the stuff. I was also tolerating the clear liquids and liquids well so they moved me to pureed as soon as I got home two days after surgery. March 3 I move to soft diet. I ate something different at every meal just to see if some things wouldn't stay down. I have tolerated everything well and I am glad of that.
You sure about the banana. That's very high carbs for weight loss person. I take 3 IDS protein shakes a day with all my vitamins and minerals. I get 2 oz servings of 3 items per meal and I have to eat very slowly. Now I'm getting tired of eating because I am putting something into my mouth from 5am to 8pm. I want an eating break.
Lol Chris. I hope I get tired of eating. I hope that I will need to eat slowly. So far, tolerating clear liquid really well. It's very hard to sip 2 ounces over 30 minutes like I'm supposed to. More like 3. Broth has never sounded so wonderful. I think I get that next week, hopefully. Yeah, I feel sort of tied down...don't want to miss a yummy water feeding lol.
Wow...so you are getting 2 ounces per meal, or 6? I'm assuming 2. I can't wait. I'm hungry! What is IDS, and is it good?
Until today that was 2 oz servings of 3 different things or 6 oz per meal. Today I moved to soft diet and I can now have 3-4 oz servings of 3 different things for a total of 8 oz. That much food seems like a lot. But I also don't feel compelled to hit the 8 oz. If I am full that's where I stop, even if it is at 4 oz. But I always make sure I get in my protein shakes. IDS is a brand of protein powder. There are various sites but if you go to www.vitalady.com you can read about lots of goodies and you can also get samples to see what you like.
They have found that SATISFYING YOUR HUNGER, reaching that "I'm Full" point is the #1 factor in being successful. So if you keep feeling hungry, talk to others, especially your dietician about it.
