Newbie introduction

I recently had my surgery (apr. 17th). I am having a hard time with the post surgery diet. I am eating less but still eating many of the things I ate pre surgery. I like fruits and vegetables more than meat. I am forcing the meat and protein. I try to drink as much water as I can but also incorporate v8 vegetable juice, tea, fresh squeezed juices. Does anyone else have this issue? I have lost 18 lbs since my surgery.

Protein should be your main food, and then if you have any room, then go to your veggies and fruit, and then starches, easier said than done, i had my surgery back in december and my breakfast consist of an egg and a fruit smoothy with ff yogurt, i drink a protein shake for lunch at work and then have some sort of protein and a veggie for supper, i sometimes have beef, turkey or chicken jerky for a snack of some light babybell cheese
