Congrats on your surgery. The first couple of weeks were the hardest for me. I was hardly able to eat/drink anything at all. My dr wanted me to have I think 65 gm of protein a day and atleast 64 oz of liquids. In the beginning I didn't reach those, it was only until about week 3 that I got enough in.
I couldn't stand any of the protein powders, I thought they were all vile. I think Premier Protein shakes (30gm protein) from costco are the best. EAS shakes are also pretty good, though less protein.
My drs plan was three 2oz meals a day.(starting with pudding consistancy then moving to solid foods by week 4. Plus as much protein drink/liquid as I wanted. Just sip all day long to get enough protein in.
Do you have a nutritionist you can talk to? Mine were so helpful in the beginning.
