My surgery was on 3/12 and I swore there is no way possible to ever get the liquids and protein in. I realize that it takes a little time to build up to that and you have to be very strategic. I have been drinking the Nectar fuzzy naval protein 23grams of protein and started mixing it with skim milk which has 8grams of protein. I have 2 a day and I love the taste (which helps). After surgery my stomach is not handling the premier protein(:. Also trying the protein water which has about 15 grams a bottle. Lastly I drink hot tea in the day and sometimes at night ( I love peach). You will get there but pace yourself. It took me 8 days after surgery to hit my protein. Also I sip all day long even if I don't feel thirsty. Your are 3 days in so popsicles and jello may be your friend but trust me you will get there just keep pushing:)

I am in Illinois and did not have to do the 2weeks of liquids before surgery. It was only 2 days. However after surgery the first 2 weeks are liquid for me.

So I had my surgery on Monday March 12. Everything went well except I had to have a hernia repaired. The pain was intense the first few days but I am feeling better today. Has anyone else had to have hernia repair as well? If so any advice or any barriers.

I had my surgery yesterday as well. Virtually no nausea and was able to walk. I’m back home today and have some pain. I had a hiatal hernia that had to be fixed.

I am scheduled for 3/12 and its hard to believe that is 6 days away. I am fortunate that I do not have to do 2 weeks of liquids. My surgeon has a 2 day liquid diet. Prior to that I have been doing protein shakes for breakfast, lunch and then meat and veggies for dinner.

I’m scheduled for March 12 Excited and nervous
