CrazyJaney 775 Posted March 19, 2014 I'm 6 days out. I had yogurt for the first time and I'm a little uncomfortable. Could I have done damage? I had 3 ounces over an hour and half. Ate with a baby spoon. Pressure and maybe a little painful in my left shoulder. Maybe too soon? I didn't thin it out with milk and maybe I should have but I've done well with puréed Soups. Thought I could handle it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted March 20, 2014 I doubt you did any damage but that does sound like a signal to back off for a bit. And I would say, when you try again, eat less. When I got started on purees I was only allowed 3 tablespoons of food per meal. Also, you may want to think about whether stretching out your eating over such a long period of time is a good idea. Were you given any instruction in that area? My surgeon restricts us to eating for 30 minutes, then we have to put it away until the next meal. He doesn't want us to turn into grazers.

CrazyJaney 775 Posted March 20, 2014 Technically I'm on FULL liquids and puréed to liquid until next Wednesday when I can have real pureed. My instructions say that when I can tolerate 1/4-1/2 cup of something, I should start the no drinking liquids within 30 mins. The NUT said it was ok to try yogurt. I felt better within the hour of posting that. It's scary though! I don't ever get in 64 of fluids or 60 g of Protein. I might hit 40 again today. I'm just so sick of shakes!

Tubbynomo 18 Posted March 20, 2014 I bought a Protein Powder that I mix with Water or milk. Recently I added a couple tablespoons of half and half to the water. It taste better than just milk with a lot fewer calories and carbs. I like it because it's thinner than the shakes and seems to settle better. One scoop is 30gr of p and I can get it down in about ten min. It's called platinum hydro whey if anyone wants to try it. The cheapest place to get that I found was vitaminshoppe.com. Serving for serving it's about the same as premier shakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seela 1,187 Posted March 20, 2014 If the pain is going into your left shoulder it sounds like gas pain from surgery. Try going for a walk 1 elfnow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seela 1,187 Posted March 20, 2014 It did get better after I got up and emptied the dishwasher. That's great! I know at this point the last thing you want to do is exercise but a 10min walk does wonders 1 elfnow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
