Thank you for your post @DEZURI. I've been reading a lot of post, gathering info here and there, and if I didn't see what you posted and the comments, I probably would have tried whatever the Nurses brought me! Thanks to everyone for their replies!

After my surgery I was surprised too. They brought me broth, apple juice, Popsicles, a roll and butter. I was like "A ROLL" really. it was a mistake, but damn i was so hungry i could have ate it.

My surgeon said liquids only for 2 weeks. Then 2 weeks of soft puréed foods. Now I am on solids. But I say that loosely bc I can only eat a few bites and I'm full. Also, was told not to drink and eat together as it causes hair loss. I've seen a lot of differences in pre op and post op from different surgeons. My pre op was 11 days with shakes at breakfast and dinner while lunch was lean protein and veggies. Then 3 days only liquids. I think each person is unique but I was told the liquid/soft phase after surgery helps prevent leaks. The 3 days only liquids prior is to avoid complications during surgery as your stomach needs to be completely empty.

I was on full liquids including protein shakes when I got home. Slowly added jello, yogurt and sugar free puddings. Just keep sipping at the protein drinks.

I'm almost two months post surgery. What you're experiencing is very typical from what I was told and have experienced myself. Upon returning home I continued the clear liquids for a few days and then added protein drinks which helped to take care of the nutrition I needed. Am just recently transitioned back to regular foods. Yes, it doesn't take all that much to make me feel like I'm going to lose it if I go any further, so I take that as my sign to stop. Again, the protein drinks help with making sure I'm getting enough nutrition in. Good luck!
