Post Op Menu + Water

[Esorami 2]

I was banded on the 6th and the menu they sent home with me is a puzzle. Or maybe my brain is a puzzle. I have a liquid meal (shakes, Jello, broth, etc) every hour. Of course I drink slow, so when does drinking Water fit in here? I am so full I can't fit it all in.

I am surprised your having a liquid meal every hour? When do you fit in sleeping? Water is essential but you are also getting in liquids from everything else your taking in.

Wow that's a lot. I was just told to eat whenever I want and I can eat creamy Soups, SF Jello & popcicles and of course Water and 2 Protein Shakes are a must.

Maybe you should call the nutritionist they would definitely be able to tell you how to tailor it because it really does seem impossible.

Good luck!

Wow, I can't imagine having to drink a meal every hour. That seems like so much.

That's a lot. I barely got down 12oz of Fluid for the next several days after surgery. It just hurt.
