3 Days Post Op

[sotabee 15]

Thursday was my sleeve surgery and came home from hopsital yesterday, so today is day 3 or 4? Things going pretty well just making sure to get liquid and protien shakes in. How much liquid and protien are a must day 3-10? Looking forward to no more tummy pain but that will go away as I heal.

I asked the nurse that same question. Today would be day 3.

My dr did not want clear Protein until day 5. As much Water as you can and Clear liquids . Then full liquids in week two so full Protein drinks. My dr supplied a chart and for a woman 5'5" (me) I should get 87 gm a day. I round this to 90.

I bought unflavored powder and add it to everything to try to get more.

I was sleeved 6/17 and am on soft foods. I now get 60 gm from 2 drinks a day and track the rest in the small meals I eat.

You have to drink all the time. You do not want to have to go get iv fluids. Good luck to you. This month is hard... I've been stalled since 9 days out but I think it might be over soon.

Keep on!!!
