Default So Confused !!!!!!

hey
i need a little advice
i am getting food frustrated. I am 10 days post op from lap gastric bypass.
i lost 11 lbs my first week WOOO HOO lol
i was started on blended cream soups, yogurt etc i am able to tolerate them well. But my frustration is in the amount i have to take in, in a day.
According to my Dr and dietician, i am supposed to eat every 3 hours making sure to take in 63 grams of protien (including protien shakes of course lol)
and 64 oz of fluids. Now....i am so grateful to have stuff to eat other than clear broth.....lol but this is ridiculous. It is stressed to us that we should stop before we get too full, but in order to intake all of what i am supposed to, i am feeling full all day!?!?!?! I am NOT looking to stretch my pouch out already, but i want to follow my Drs orders, but i am not able to keep up with all the protien/meal/liquid requirements of the day. What do i do???????
It is driving me crazy H E L P M E
xoxoxo
