I had the duodrinal switch on Mar 11th. I've been on full liquids for nearly 2 weeks. I'm so hungry all the time...and...im not really losing much. I actually gained after surgery. I suppose because of the swelling and such. I'm so looking forward to Monday....soft food stage. I'm having a hard time meeting my protein goals with this liquid thing. Any ideas?

Hi. Im new too. Just had the gastric bypass on Feb 27. I was so grateful to get to the soft food stage. But i am eating 70 grsms of protein and getting 64 oz of fluids and i stopped losing 2 weeks ago. Im not actually hungry. But its depressing not being able to eat the good stuff. I dont have much advice except to encourage you to be patient, as i am learning to be. Good luck!!!
