My surgery was on September 2nd in Marietta, GA, feel free to add me as a friend. I am presently in the first week of my soft food stage. During the liquid phase I did well hitting my numbers. Now that I'm on soft foods I'm having problems maintaining my protein and my fluids. Does anyone have any tips on ways I can get them both in without getting up at the crack of dawn and going to bed at 12 midnight.
