    MFP: you can change the information. You can put in as much carbs or whatever. I have a max sodium and carbs. Just know that your macros (carbs, Protein and fat) are at a percentage.

    Just an update: just got done with my post op appointment with the surgeon and he says the clear protein water counts as liquids as does the Isopure and water. I've been doing my best to meet the requirements without using these in my liquids! I've been exceeding the requirements!

    With stage three are you counting clear Protein Drinks as fluids, for Fluid intake? I was told protein supliments don't count as fluid anymore and I am finding that getting my fluids in is super hard without my Isopure made with Water and the clear drinks.< br>

    I had my surgery same day as you.

    I add Protein Powder to my shakes (55 grams protein) with a little Water and just started adding a 1/4 of a banana - (for a different flavor). Then put it in my ninja mixer.

    I drink clear Premier Protein (20 grams protein) or Isopure, Infusions 100% whey Protein Isolate, Mixed berry, (20 grams)

    I tried to add protein to my Soup but it was soooo gross. Maybe I purchased the wrong type of protein.

    Good luck to you!

    Mine was on the 11th too.

    I meet my protein goals by adding Protein Powder (and water) to my pre made Protein Shakes. I also drink premeir protein clear drinks instead of plain water. That was the only way to meet my protein goals. I tried adding protein to my Soup but it made it taste so bad and have a weird unpleasant consistency.

    I'm glad you are doing well! Keep it going!

    Apparently I was not having migraines I was having mini strokes. I learned this after my surgery when my hand wasn't working and got a CT and an MRI.

    I used to take Topamax and nortryptoline.

    I'm sorry about the issues you are having.

    When I really can't do more hydration I just suck on the sugar free Popsicles. That was my saving grace. I just let them melt in my mouth.

    I read somewhere that there may be home Healthcare nurses that will give you iv fluids at home. It might be costly though.

    I hope things get better for you.

    8 oz an hour is a lot! I get max 5 oz an hour. Great job!

    I haven't really weighed myself yet. I told myself that when I'm feeling better and not swollen still I will.

    I had surgery on 10.11.22. Had some complications was moved out of the surgical floor into a different one and stayed in the hospital until 10.14.22. Everything is going OK now but I have a question. Am I supposed to be popping? I have only had liquids no actual food.

    Mine is scheduled for October 11th.

    I don't eat fast food (too expensive), or drink. I've been doing ok with my diet. I lost 14 lbs but then gained 2.

    I'm scared about the surgery, and feel unprepared.

    Ok, so it's normal? Good luck to you! I have to be at the hospital at 7am. It's a little after 5. I've slept about 3 hours I'm tired but more nervous. So many things are running through my head.

    I hope that you are doing well. I know we will both get through this and come out the other side better than ever.

    I have been doing a low carb diet except for today. I went out to dinner with some coworkers and had some sushi so the rice was bad.

    I have shakes but they only have 15 grams Protein but the others are soooo gross I can't finish them. I have been doing Atkins shakes for Breakfast on the way to work and then egg muffins (eggs with spinach, mushrooms, onions, bellpeppers baked in cupcake tins) at work and then one shake with my lunch which is just a low carb tortilla with turkey meat (93/7) with some taco seasonings. For dinner more turkey. I'm just eating the same things day after day to make sure I don't mess up. It's easy to make and the prep time is short. I'm not hungry anymore. It seems like a lot of food but the calories are pretty low for each.

    We are almost there!!!! We got this!!! Our hard work is paying off!

    There might be a recipe area on this site, I'm not sure. That may help.
