Do we need to bring our own Protein Powder to the hospital to put in our clear liquids ? Don't we start the Protein directly after surgery? Confused??

Hi, Lisa--

The hospital will supply you with whatever diet your Dr. orders. Do not worry about Protein in the beginning, it will be a bigger job to get enough fluids in so that you don't get dehydrated. You can go without protein for a while, certainly until you get home and maybe even later. I could not get all my required protein in until 2 weeks out from surgery or all my fluids in until 10 days out.
