Melhendy 15 Posted July 17, 2013 I have my one-week post-op class tomorrow and my post-op with the doc on Thursday. I am supposed to be on liquids until next wednesday, when I have my post-op dietary class. Then I can start on soft Proteins. I am getting in about 2 full shakes a day, and about 48 oz of Water. plus one SF Jello cup, and about a 1/3 can of cream of something Soup (very watered down) at dinnertime. I don't know if I can make it a whole nother week on liquids! After liquids our doctor has us do "mushies" for SIX WEEKS!! That seems a bit extreme for me, but I will see what is on the list for mushies. I know it's soft proteins, some examples they gave were refried Beans, eggs, soft cheeses, Soups, cottage cheese and greek yogurt. On the other hand, I have been back to driving since yesterday - had to take the kiddos to girl scout camp, which is about 1/2 hour away. One hour trip back and forth. I went a little crazy yesterday and did all kinds of errands after drop-off and I was definately feeling it last night. But not enough for pain meds. Just felt it. Today I had PTA paperwork and stuff to do, so I took it a bit easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
