lifewillbegood 68 Posted December 17, 2012 I'm post op 4 days. Just started drinking the Protein Shakes which I'm able to drink a little and a little bit of pudding but I'm having to break it up in more than just the 3 meals. Anyway my question is am I supposed to be on a Protein Shake diet the first week or is it just liquids in general? I wanted to try some pure liquid Soups like Tomato with unflavored Protein Powder to give me a variety is that okay? I didn't really get a self diet plan just whatever was in the book I was given. The Protein shake isn't my fav thing and I was hoping to so something more flavorful and maybe that would help with my calorie intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted December 17, 2012 Every doctor is different so you should speak to his/her office? Did you get a pamphlet or instruction book before surgery? I was on liquids including shakes the first 4 days and then mushies for another 4 days. tmf 1 donna12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifewillbegood 68 Posted December 17, 2012 Yes I got a booklet. Days 3-7 it says to have 3 Protein Shakes a day along with 2 other items which there was a list for like sf pudding and Jello applesauce and yogurt smoothies. I figured liquid was liquid. Just didn't want to screw anything up! I can start creamy Soups with no chunks on day 8. Just wasn't sure what exactly was meant. Maybe I will call to clarify. Thanks!!!
