I am two weeks post op. I was having trouble getting my protein in so my Dr and dietician advanced me to purée/mashed foods. They said I am healing quickly and were not concerned. However I am terrified of a leak. Did anyone else advance quickly?

I'm 8 days post op. I'm only getting half my protein intake. I've tried injury, Isopure, unflavored.... All of it makes me gag. I find it nasty. I'm full liquid and some purée (ie pudding and yogurt, etc). Today I pureed some meat out of desperation and ate a few bites. Now I feel icky. Next week I can advance to mashed and full purées. Any advice to get me thru the week?

I am a little over a week out and am starting to sleep on my stomach more. I use a heating pad sometimes when I sleep. I can't sleep all night on my tummy but can for a few hours.

I had two periods in one month post op.

Hello, I am three days post op. The day of surgery I had such anxiety and was in so much pain I wondered what I was thinking. I puked some blood. Surgeon said procedure was perfect. Today I'm feeling better, still in pain and extremely tired. I cannot get in all the protein. I spent $60 on unflavored unjury powder and it makes me nearly vomit, which really hurts! Any suggestions for a protein supplement that isn't chalky? Or doesn't smell putrid?

I'm also trying to remember to sip slow. I'm so thirsty that I want to gulp from my sports bottle. I have a feeling I will learn the hard way.
