9 days post op. Feeling weak, any suggestions? I was fine until last night touching through the liquid phase like everyone one does while cooking yummy food for everyone else in the family, ????and then it hit me. I truly am not getting enough proteins in I know for a fact, I hate all 22 of the protein drinks I've tried. But will stomach about 25 grams a day, to today I got in 45g. But I walk slow, there's nothing wrong with my legs! Lol! I don't talk to the kids, In fact I answer everyone pleasantly but with a three four word answer max. I am so weak. Now everyone goes through this two week liquid phase, but I don't understand why I was fine and chugging along until last night and then boom! I'm done with it. I don't even care about the soft food stage at this point , which before was my goal! Strange or normal?

I am on day 9 post op and initially started out doing well. Now I've just lost it and slowed down a lot. I walk at a slow pace do not want to answer questions and yes I am starving. I hate all protein drinks, even though they taste like vomit I got down 35-45 g today. I've tried mixing it in soup, tried adding a spoon of cream of wheat to make me feel like I am actually getting something in. Not working. I am getting 64 oz of fluid in and that is what's kept me out of the er though but I am terribly weak. I don't know, but I hope soft foods in 6 days will turn this around! Anyone else similar problems?

where do you buy them, what brand. Do the skins on the beans bother you, I heard we can even add cheese to them I can not wait!,, so excited

i really want this to go!I am day two post op and out of the hospital, I am weak and bummin around. Hurts to cough but I can tell my lungs have stuff in them. So good to hear you say it gets better after day 3. I keep telling myself one week, just take it one week at a time! On day three did you have cream of wheat or were you still sticking to liquids? The worst pain I have is when I swallow gosh it hurts so bad the goes away in like 15 seconds. Does that get better around day three also?

Day two today!

Found great tasting vitamins! Yay finally one thing that doesn't make me puke! Natures source fruit flavored vitamins - yummy! Got them at Walmart no chalky taste either
