You have probably made the best choice of your life and extended the quality of your life onehundred percent!!! My doc told me to try to work up to drinking 64 oz of fluids a day, I didn't hit that til about a month and a half postop. Protein-wise yogurt is a good choice, keep eating it. Of course you can't get it all in at this point, but about a month and a half and you should have a good chance of getting all that you need. Just keep trying, that is what is important. I am 3-1/2 months postop and still don't feel like I have to eat, nor do I miss that feeling. Right now you are healing and won't experience pouch hunger, head hunger may be another story. Try to stick to the surgeon's plan for you. Give it time and you will find out how to handle your new pouch's plan for you. Best of luck!! Come back here anytime you want. ~Diana~

Jandell you are in my good thoughts and prayers!!! Keep us posted please ::hugs::
