How Much Of My Shake Should I Have???? Day 3 Post Op

[fostermomma 39]

My post op diet days 3 thru 7 is 3 Protein shakes a day(plus some jello/sf pops/juices if I want). On my pre-op diet, I was doing 8 oz of skim milk with one scoop of powder and some fruit for my shake. Will I be able to have that much post op? I don't want to waste my powder but I want to make sure I get enough. Since I basically cannot tell if I am hungry or not, I am not sure I will be able to tell if I am full.....anyone know what I should do?

Thanks!

I was told to get 8 glasses of water/liquids in per day and around 60 grams of Protein. So, I would use that as a guideline for how much of your shake you should have (keeping in mind the shake counts as liquid too). Also, you may not be able to get all of that in now so work your way up to that if you cannot get all of it down in a day.

Good luck to you! Hope you took it easier today.

you sip sip sip sip all day until you get the Protein in that you need. (its hard the first couple days after surgery because you are so swollen) dont let that deter you..you keep on sipping until you cant sip no more...as long as you get (some) that is better than none at all. and after you start healing, swelling goes down, you will be able to get your protein in. (if you cant drink it at one setting,put in freezer and let is freeze-----i ate alot of mine w/a spoon in a slush fashion).

hope this helps. all the best.
