Sounds like my day. Except the can sip a Protein Shake all day and never finish 8 oz... and be thirsty and he entire day. Makes it hard to separate meal time from Water.

Plan the meals for certain times. Take your time even if it takes 2 hrs you got this.
I find Protein Shakes work best at Breakfast. They really are filling.
Take it easy and very slow. It's important to get fluids in I got some Powerade zero and crystal lite for my plain Water. It's such a task [emoji6]

I got crystal light too and today I found I can handle more of the shake if I heat it up (it’s like a bad hot chocolate [emoji23]) warmer beverages seem to be better for me. I’ll work my meal times better tomorrow that’s the great thing... tomorrow is a new day... to start fresh and fix those mistakes [emoji846]

I’m on day 5 today and it’s much easier getting my Protein in. I struggled day 3 and phoned the nurse. I barely got anything down because it hurt under my breast bone as if the liquid was getting stuck. The nurse told me to just keep trying as it would get easier. Day 4, yesterday was much easier and I was able to finish 2 protein shakes!

Today I had a premiere Protein Shake for breakfast which takes several hours to get.down. I also had about 3 oz of Fairlife nonfat milk - that tasted delicious. Then for lunch I had broth from homemade broth Soup which I cooked carrots, celery and other veggies in. I then strained it using cheese cloth and drank just the broth. I added 1 scoop (30 gr protein) of GENEPRO medical grade Protein Powder (which doesn’t change the taste). It tasted so good! The broth will be my dinner too.

I feel so much better today. Days 2-3 were pretty rough going and am glad I’m past that.

Scdaniec...hang in there. It’ll get better. But if you seriously are lacking in the fluids you should phone the surgery nurse.

Fairlife milk is delish! I miss it. I’ve been told no dairy for the first 2-3 weeks and they prefer we stay away altogether... but I know I’ll cave.

Yes, I’m lacking. I managed 10 oz today counting everything. [emoji30] mainly bc l, as you said, it gets caught in my chest where they did the hernia repair.

[ShelbyMoore 84]

Oh they did a hernia repair on me too. I didn’t know I had it. Surgeon saw it when he went in and fixed it. So that’s why my breast bone area hurts when I swallow. I didn’t know that.

It’s funny how surgeons are so different regarding milk. I was told when I was still in the hospital that I can add nonfat Fairlife Protein milk when I add my Protein Shakes. I’m very thankful for the milk. It’s helping.

It may be that the Protein One has things in it that other mills don’t (in a good way). I was told I could have almond milk but I’m scared lol
