Bored

[betterliving 0]

I had my surgery on Wednesday and I came home Friday evening. I'm already bored with Water, apple juice, popsicles and broth. I am on liquids until my first doctor visit on Thursday, please any suggestions?

View consumption of food/nutrition as a prescription... at this phase it really isnt about enjoyment. good news is that later, it gets much better!

I am surprised you aren't on Protein drinks. AS soon as I was cleared for "full liquids" it was Water and Protein Drinks. The trick I was given was to serve them in a shot glass...haha.. with a goal to down a shot every 30 minutes!

If your surgeon wants you on "clear liquids" maybe you can try Isopure Protein drinks which are clear and will give you 40 grams of protein in 20 oz. In the end go with your surgeon's recommendations.

Spice up the broth with some different spices....cumin or cayenne?

The sugar free popsicles were a life saver to me... at least gave me the illusion I was eating something!
