I started taking the Vitamins almost 10 months before my surgery. So it didn't bother me. The Protein shakes are great when I need a boost of protien without many carbs. Just have to find ones that you like. I am odd and do not mind most of the samples that I ordered. Only had one that I found tasted like playdoh and I will make sure never to have that one again.

For me post surgery I was sleepy for the first couple of days but I did get up and walk. I sipped on my fluids and loved warm ones. I was lethargic for the first couple of weeks until I was on full liquids. And then my energy started to perk up. Now that I am on mushies I have no problems needing a nap in the daytime. I have no hunger and I eat because I need to. I have not had any problems getting in my fluids or Protein but that is not the case for everyone. My swelling went down faster than some others. Post op the first month sucks (I will not lie) but after that it gets better when you can move from liquids to more mushy food and I have just been experimenting with solids. So far my tummy likes turkey bacon. I am going to try sausages next and possibly ground meats.

Hope this info helps.
