What is your Protein target? What do your post-op instructions say?

Post-op I was on Clear liquids for seven days and then full liquids for seven days. The next week was soft foods.

My Clear Liquids included: Syntrax nectar, Isopure clear, bone broth, ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, Water, crystal light, sugar-free Popsicles, sugar-free Jello, etc. In addition to the clears my surgeon made an exception and also allowed Premier Protein, ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups.

When I was on full liquids I was able to add in other Protein shakes (like GNC Lean shake 25) and other opaque liquids like V8, creamy Soups, etc. I was also able to count Protein pudding and Greek yogurt as full liquid.< /p>

My protein target is 100 grams a day and getting in all of my protein and at least 64 oz of water/liquid is and was my number one priority post-op.

I'm surprised you are able to walk with nothing in the tank. Look up Isopure (clear liquid protein). Kept me energized.

didn't your nutritionist go over what you should be eating with you?

before I had surgery I had to have multiple meetings with my nutritionist and she told me exactly what and how much I should be eating at every stage post op.

if you don't know what you should or should not eat ask your nutritionist

Call your surgeon's office and/or nutritionist.
