    @@BloomingLotus I've never heard of such a thing but that's a nice thing to have. I don't know if you need someone with you once your home. I had my husband and kids but they were gone all day and quit frankly if I had to I would have Been fine on my own. I guess it all depends on how your surgery goes and how comfortable you are with being alone. Heck if you felt good you could probably just have a taxi take you home and skip that expense all together.

      Have you tried boullion? I have found that very satisfying. In fact, I take some canned beef broth (4 oz) add 4 oz water and half teaspoon of beef boullion to it. VERY satisfying. Lately I've added a teaspoon of unflavored protein. Now I'm getting fluid and 10 grams protein. You can try chicken and vegetable flavors too.

      No, I did that when I was new out of surgery though, thats a good trick to do though when you need more protein!
