3 Weeks and feeling hungry
I live in Fairborn. It is really the boarder line of Enon and fairborn. I am always hungry.
it takes me a small amount to get full. I can drink fast. Today I went on a 600 calorie diet. I am going to stick to that. In know what you mean about the big shakes. I am making them smaller. Those things end up big. But i have heard it is okay to drink fast because it goes down as a liquid. I heard each meal should be under 20 minutes or it is consider grazing what ever that means.

I am also 3 weeks post op. I am still on the liquid diet portion of my diet.
Tomorrow I start the soft portion of the diet. I am loosing about a pound-to 2 pounds a day.
I think different doctors do different post op diets.
I also get very hungry. 2 nights ago I dreamed that I was eating Chinese food all night. When I woke up, boy was I starving!!!

Michelle,
I had open surgery,
I heard the diet is completly different from lap. I started puree at the hospital on the third day.
I am now counting my calories. I am getting in 600 a day including protein shakes.
It will make a differnce once your able to eat. I could not imagine going that long. I am ready to get out of this stage. I am walking 1-1/2 miles a day...
