Ate too much for my first meal!

My program had one day of clear liquid diet, and then goes straight to two weeks of purees. I did not enjoy clear liquids at all. I was really excited for the purees, but now I am frustrated because I can barely eat them! I think it will be easier when I get home. The hospital does not offer very good choices. 

Your program has you on liquids for four weeks?  That's a really long time.  Many programs do have patients on liquids while in the hospital but some have them on pureed foods before they are discharged.  I don't know why you'd have trouble taking in soft foods at three weeks post op.

Our plan calls for clear liquids first week home, full liquids for the next 2 weeks (that's what I'm in now, including clear liquids but adding protein shakes and yogurt) and starting on next Tuesday, my 4th week, I will be adding soft foods like deli meat, scrambled eggs, string cheese and cottage cheese. The Tuesday after starts light seafood and cooked vegetables. The week after that starts a transition into normal foods like ground turkey, lettuce, chicken ect. 

I thought so too, and I told my surgeon that they were giving me ridiculous amounts of food when he stopped by. How is someone fresh out of surgery supposed to know when to stop eating without measuring the food?
