How much Protein are you eating each day?

[demarie87 13]

Not much with chicken brothe and ice pops. I do have clear ensure with Protein, but I am just not hungry. Suggestions ?

Are you drinking plenty of Water?

[forensic6 89]

Get some Protein mix with whey isolates and you should be getting down 60-80 grams per day. I concur about Water too--check your hydration a couple ways:

1. What is color of urine?

2. Do skin test, grab one wrist (normal grip). How long until color returns to your wrist?

I was told Clear Liquids only. Isn't whey mix for shakes? My mom is going to GNC to pick me up some clear Liquid Protein in a few

Day 3? Probably still just the anesthetic working it's way through your system. Everybody is different. During my stay at the hospital I slept for the better part of 3 days.

Sorry, that's right--not all doctors are the same. Mine had me on full liquids by day 2. Otherwise, drink Isopure which is clear (apple melon is best).

I just called my doctor and he said to switch from sugar free drinks and ice pops to ones with sugar so I can get some calories in me. Hopefully that helps. I wish I could just make a Protein Shake and not feel dizzy

I hah surgery this morning. Can I have an herbal tea? My doctor said only Water but I think tea may be okay.

[jaideeian 3]

On my post-op diet sheet it lists tea so it might be ok. I'll call to make sure and congrats! I had surgery today also *4/24/13*

[Miki71 21]

Congratulations to you too! How are you feeling? My left shoulder and abdomen are very sore. It's hard to lie down. I was sitting on my vouch for an hour and now I'm walking around my house, swinging my arms.

[jaideeian 3]

The left side of my stomach is sore also. I've been walking around the house a little bit also. It's hard for me to pay down too so I been sitting up in the bed.
