frustrated
I had my surgery june 30th, I have been on a full liquid diet for 2 days and I feel very hungery and listless, lightheaded. I feel just like i did before the surgery when I went all day without eating. I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong. My menu goes like this

1/4 cup plain yogurt
30min later 1/2cup milk with sugar free carnation instant brekfast powder
sipping water 16.9fl oz.
sf popsicle
Lunch
1/4 strained chicken noodle soup (no noodles)
1/4 cup sugar free pudding

Dinner
1/4cup strained chicken noodle soup (no noodles of course)
1/4 cup plain yougurt
30min later 1/2 cup milk with half packet carnation sugar free instant breakfast

I was discharged on a full liquid diet on July 2nd.
I get all my water in except for today because i was so tired i had to sleep. I called my doctors office and the nurse said it was fine but i feel more tired today and they are out of the office. I also have not had ANY pain meds for 2days as i have very little pain. I just cant figure out why I am soo tired and hungery. I'm hungry to the point of headaches. I feel Im not getting enough food. I walk 30-35 min every evening since the 2nd Post-op. I have very little pain, some burping and a little loose stools.
Please help; Am i using too much energy for the amount of liquids I'm taking in?
I know this is alot of info but if anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks
