eating

I am 9 days post op. Did anyone have a problem with eating the right amounts of food. The sample diet I have from the doctor is Breakfast: 1 oz pureed fruit, 1 oz thing oatmeal Snack: 1 cup milk, 1 - 2 cups sugar free beverage Lunch: 1 oz pureed fruit, 1 oz thin mashed potatoes Snack: 1 cup milk, 1 cup broth, 1 cup diet jello Dinner: 1 oz pureed fruit, 1 oz thin cream of wheat Snack: 1 cup milk 1 - 2 cups sugar free beverage. I ate 1 oz of fruit and was full. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Wendy Fowler

Hi Wendy, I am 8 days post op.At first I was scared what to eat,but I think it all just comes to you.I would say if your full thats good.I have days like that to .Like for dinner I would eat maybe some soup just a few bites and would be so full,but for lunch I can eat sometimes more.Its weird .Also last night I had a Jello pudding snack sugar free and Ive been eating this regular since the surgery but for the first time I finished the whole thing.I was surprise and in shock.So I would say some days are different. Good Luck......

It will vary day to day the important thing is to stay hydrated the first two week I lived on popsciles plus everything goes down differently such as jello turns to water applesauce has less consistancy as oatmeal. Some days you can handle more however take small bites chew well and eat real slow. Be careful to follow the no liquid 30 prior to a meal and 30 mins after.

Hey Wendy CONGRATS and welcome to the loers side...lol. I'm so glad everything went well for you.I am only sorry that I wasnt in town to be able to see you.please know you were in my thoughts and prayers That book that they give us through me also,for me I followed it but I ate till my body said stop..wich wasnt much.it is different for everyone.For me at 9 days out I was drinking a lot of water and eating very little.AND THAT WAS BAD!!! lol...I was scared to eat and until the last month or so food was an enemy to me,you will have to learn a new realationship with yourself and food also.So just make sure you drink a lot...drink,drink,drink.the food thing will come in time,it's all very new for you right now,,,heck Im out 4mons and its new for me still...lol. just dont stress it and listen to your body and not the book,as far as how much your to be eating....now dont eat to much LOL...take vare and I wishh you the best...PS send me your # again plzzz..
