hi sparky and welcome to minis, it is normal to experience hunger pains after 2 weeks as the swelling will be starting to subside after your op, the initial restriction felt is only from the op swelling when that goes away the normal desire/hunger sensation returns.

who is your surgeon and how long has he got you on a liquid diet for ?

becareful of eating the wrong food types this early as it may cause pain or discomfort.

Hi Sparky

I was like that after 2 weeks too. I phoned my dietician and she suggested moving onto sloppies earlier. Yours may suggest something like that too if you give them a ring.

you wont of done any damage with wotsits, they may be on the high calory side, i find quavers better if i do want some thing like that, but i wouldnt try proper crisps as they are tricky and high calory.
