barwick411 4 Posted November 6, 2017 I am scheduled for surgery in 2 days (Nov 8). I am starting to feel anxious about coming home and being able to get my Protein and liquids. Could someone post a menu sample of what you drank/ate and how often? I haven't been able to find a daily guide for week one. My surgeon requires 64 oz of liquid per day and 80-100oz of protein. Help?!?!? I am getting stressed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BelleOfBatonRouge 80 Posted November 6, 2017 Weren’t you required to meet with a nutritionist before your surgery? They’re the ones who could help you with a day to day meal plan. 1 maalban12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Help?!?!? I am getting stressed!Every surgeon is different. What did yours advise you when you went to meet for your pre-op appointment? Mine doesn't require a clear liquid diet after the first day so I'm on shakes and stuff like pudding, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, cream Soups etc. I have to get down 64 ounces of liquid and 70-80 grams of protein each day. It's supposed to take me 10 minutes to drink every ounce but I can drink a couple ounces in that time. I left the hospital the day after surgery on the stage 3 phase of my plan. I've heard my doctor is more generous as other doctors require clear broths and liquids for the first 2-3 weeks. Please ask you doctor what plan he follows!!!There's a good variety of protein Water on the market that will help you meet your protein goals. I found mine on Amazon or at the grocery. They are too sweet so I water them down about 50/50. I get about two bottles for each one which also helps with your liquid requirements. I struggle with meeting my requirements. It feels like an all day constant chore and I sometimes forget to sip for a couple hours and that can throw me way off track.
