I’m flying home (2hrs flight) 48hrs after mine, I maybe wouldn’t want to do long haul for a while though!

I'm kind of the opposite as in, I was fine drinking no soda pre op. Now that I'm post op all I crave is a coke with ice and a straw.. [emoji24]

The prob I had was the idea of adding dietary fat to a relatively non-nutritious drink. The concept of fat bombs and bpc is just faddish lunacy from the keto brigade. And I'm a ketoneer. LOL. I just think crap! Don't do any of the bs. You don't need it if your a fatty! I'm a fatty! I sure as hell don't need a fat bomb.
Now, if I had 4% body fat and just "couldn't eat enough calories in a day," then maybe I need to think about fat bombs (which is what bpc is).
But I see at your level now, no reason why you can't supplement a set amount of Protein powder/protein drink to have in decaff coffee. As much as I can eat, I'm maxed with food volume and still can't quite hit 60g minimum protein. So by adding in my 6oz per day of Premier Protein I make my goal and allow a little wiggle room for veggies.
I have 1 to 1 1/2oz per 9-12oz of hot decaff up to those 6fl oz.

Tell your doctor that's a new position for you, Desert Girl. Tell him you'll try it if he has diagrams or a hand-out you can take home with you.😋

Right after surgery your body is in a major heal mode. So during the first few weeks, many find it difficult to meet the Fluid daily requirements. But you are almost a month post op and you should be likely able to handle the requirement at this time.
It is common for your taste buds to change after surgery. Be willing to experiment. After surgery, my taste buds changed dramatically. Even Water changed. In the hospital it tasted excessively chlorinated and I could not drink it. So I experimented. sugar free popsicles became my best friend. Some individuals find hot or cold can help with fluids. For me, I found that I could tolerate flavored water. So I began using Crystal Light. I also found a new drink Bai which I liked cold. In the winter, I found that I tolerate Hot Drinks such as piping hot cocoa. But you have to use the "No Sugar Added" variety. Also fine English teas were very good.
The fluid requirement is met by a combination. It is not only the water that you drink each day. But also the water you drink when you take your Vitamins and medicine. It is the milk you drink. It is the fluids content of the Protein Shakes. It is the water component of the Soups you take. It is met by flavored water such as Crystal Light. It is met by sugar free popsicles. It is met by tea and Decaf coffee. It is a combination of all the fluids that you consume during the day.
