Is it true that I never will be able to drink from a straw again? I find it easier to sip drinks if I use a straw. But am afraid since I had my surgery.

I am almost 2 weeks post op. My surgeon said I could do scrambled eggs. I chewed like forever and only ate a little bit. Felt fine. Then I had Greek yogurt a bit later. Now I am in pain. I took gas x. But no relief. Any suggestions?

I am having a tough time with my protein and water in take. How much and how often do you personally recommend? I know it varies, but I am trying and feel like I am failing. Thanks

I can not drink water, teas, diet flavored drinks. Nothing like that without pain. I can however seem to drink skim milk, protein drinks and broth. I am 4 weeks post op. Any ideas? My doc said it is normal. Will brink it up again tomorrow. Makes it difficult to get all my fluid in. Any one else?

I was told any liquid counts towards your total for the day. But each doc may be different.

Beachgal, this sounds amazing. I will try this for sure.

What can I do? No nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Severe gas pains that make my stomach cramp up. I am 2 weeks out. Docs are out for the night. Help!!

The JP drain was nothing. Two of my daughters had major cranial surgery and had the drains in. So I guess I was used to them though. Good luck!! I am 16 days out.

I ended up being admitted for observation. Because I did end up vomiting, my ct scan showed no blockage. My lower connection showed some inflammation. So back to liquids again for me. I hope this is not an indication of how things are going to be for me.

I am afraid to try it. Lol

Is the amount of sugar in my whey protein powder and the sugar in skim milk OK? I will be 5days post op for bypass tomorrow and I need to mix stuff up a bit. I am just worried about sugars.
