Im not having luck getting the whole 48 0z down... it's just hard because of the gas pain. Today I returned to work and had a more or less good day except the horrible gas. But now I'm in class and feeling weak and almost faint. I don't see my doctor for my follow up appt until this upcoming Monday. Should I be concerned?

What are you eating at this stage??? Are you getting your protein in? Stay hydrated

No protein yet. The doctor's office said just clear liquids

Keep drinking, just sip all day.............

Uh oh...drinking is crucial at this time. Are you walking? I find that helps me pass some of the gas and then I feel better to be able to drink. It's getting easier each day to get my 64 oz in.

You might want to call Dr and tell them how your feeling, they might let you start your protein early and that would help. Give them a call, that's what they're there for. Good Luck!

Maddys right call in, I couldn't do protein drinks after surgery and when I called to let them know how I was feeling they immediately put me into the soft stages so I could get some nutrients in. Drink alllll day long, you need to keep hydrated. Buy yourself some Gatorade and sip on it you will be surprised how much better your body will feel. You can also dilute it in your water as well (I did that too). Just keep drinking all day, this is key to healing.

Oh for the gas, you are just going to have to walk it out ... the gas will travel through your body before it dissipates.

Hang in there, it does get better

I had my surgery a week ago today. I called the dr before and told them I was very hungry and that I had only had protein shakes, soup, and water for the past week. I was told I could now have eggs and yogurt. I have the Shop Rite fat free at home so that is what I had. Only 6 g of protein but I was just nice having something thicker for a change. It was raspberry flavored but it comes already blended so there are no fruit pieces at all. Can't wait to have some Egg Beaters!!

Isopure Zero. 40 grams of protein. its been helping me. 2 days post op.

definately check in with your doctor. I had one day (day 5 after surgery) that I could barely take a shower. my blood pressure had dropped but I was very dehydrated. Surgeon recommended I call my family doctor because of the blood pressue, they had me come right in but I ended up getting 2 bags of fluid.
