Post Op Clear Liquid Diet

[Melissannde 41]

My doc said no Protein or Vitamins until I saw him on the 7th day. The hunger is one thing, I know I can make it thru that. What I can't make it thru is this weak feeling, the dizziness and the feeling that I'm going to pass out. I want Vitamins BAD!

When he says no Protein, does he mean absolutely none or just no solid protein? There are clear liquid Proteins. Isopure I think is clear. You could even make up sugar-free Jello and drink it liquid.. it has a tiny bit of protein in it. unjury may or may not be clear.

Please call and clarify. I agree, Clear Liquids alone (especially if he's requiring sugar free) would be difficult to handle for a week.

Hope you're feeling better.

Call your doctor and let him/her know of your feelings of weakness and dizziness. Discuss the option of Proteins. Don't wait call.:thumbup:

He meant absolutely no Protein of any kind until I saw him 7days later. Monday I'm putting myself on regular liquid diet with Protein because his office was not able to schedule me in until Wednesday and they must be crazy if they think I'm waiting that long.

Thanks everyone for you thoughts. You all really got me thru this difficult time.
