Is it wrong?
I think we ar meant to enjoy food - just mindfully and in moderation

is 48 oz fluid enough?
Premier protein is intolerable pos op - I use fairlife/ isopure the nausea is just worse somedays more than others its not mechanical restriction so much as just a not wanting to drink more bc it’s plain water if that makes sense Haven’t found a flavor enhancer I like so far anyone have a sipping schedule (how much water to aim for in a certain period to get to 64) would be very welcome

A little concerned
I was told sporadic pain which resolves with rest is ok but continuing / increasing pain should be checked beat to call doc

Cocoa powder?
Am fine with monkfruit. Same with chocolate flavour protein. Was thinking of brownies with protein powder added maybe instead of cacao

Constipation?
Consult your team but I was told to take 8 oz water followed by 2oz milk of magnesia and then 8 oz of water and repeat thrice if it doesn’t work within an hour they also recommend stool softeners like colas at the end go with your doctor

Cocoa powder?
Is this ok? I have this recipe for brownies with cornstarch monkfruit as coco powder wonder if that’s doable In soft food stage

Decaf or not?
I tried a decaf with milk - few sips day 25 post op and felt a little burp so left it off but relieved to hear the positive experiences i guess I will let my body tell me how to go

IM HUNGRY!!!!!!
Problem with ignoring is the pressure that comes from realising you are getting majority of your protein from protein water in my case - can’t bear the PP post op and not real food
