dmw0621 23 Posted December 8, 2016 @@QueenBx how are you? I'm post op day 1 and the pain, dry mouth and dry lips are insane. I had a swallow study earlier and my surgeon cleared me for thin liquids but all I want to do is use the PCA and sleep. I have walked the halls a little but I need to walk more. Hope all the post-ops are doing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmw0621 23 Posted December 10, 2016 @@QueenBx I am drinking the optisource for 10 days, crystal lite, broth, sugar free Jello, sf popsicles and sf fudge pops. My broth is not usually the box. I buy Soup and strain the liquids because to me the liqiuds from the soup tastes better than the broth. Oh and sip lots of Water I keep a tumbler with ice water next to me at all times.

QueenBx 63 Posted December 10, 2016 I used that idea today and bought Soups and strained them. Much better than broth! Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmw0621 23 Posted December 11, 2016 I'm glad you like it. And if you want to get more Protein you can add unflavored protein to your Soup. It takes some tweeking because it does change the appearance and consistency of your soup. But at least you're getting more protein right. Oh and the same if you use crystal light you can add unflavored protein to it as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
