One week post op

I'm one week post op today, and my materials say to only eat two tablespoons of food or 1/4 cup of liquid per meal. Perhaps you you are eating too much ? Though your doctor may follow a different plan than mine.

Hi there...where did you have surgery?  I had mine at Humber...notes say up to 3/4 cup per meal over 60 to 90 mins. I drink sips of water throughout the day.  I can't do the protein shakes so I add unflavoured protein to my oatmels, soups, etc.  just not enjoying much....force myself to eat...

Ah I didn't realize this was a Canada forum. I had surgery in the US. On my program, I am not going to reach 3/4 of a cup until about two months out and even then it's aiming for 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food which I still may end up doing more on the lower end. I will probably have to set reminders to eat because I haven't been actually hungry. 

I hear ya...not been hungry yet...it is kind of hard to stop when you are full when you have no hunger when you start!   😃

I am 4 days out and not really liking any of my foods at this time either. I am just telling myself "okay you need to eat this now...then drink that later"!!! I am just trying to muddle through. I have heard others say the fluids at this point are more important then the protein.
