hello (:

I saw your post. i am scheduled sept 25th for my surgery. I am running out of idea's for shakes and stuff. what kind of powder do you use and any recipes? if you dont mind sharing (;

also I am scared I need to start thinking about what are the best things to have on hand to eat post op/

~Aimee

I got my shakes from costco the best I have tasted. Instead of regular broth I take chicken and rice Soup and strain it to get more flavor. Tried of won ton and regular broth.

Six weeks? Is there a reason you are on clear for so long? I think a discussion with your surgeon and NUT may be in order. I was climbing the walls after two weeks of full liquids. Hang in there girl. I always told myself during all the things that were hard and unpleasant (pre-op diet, liquid post-op, pureed post op) that it was just for a set amount of time. I would just keep busy with other things and the time would pass. It did. It will for you too. I would still have a conversation with your surgeon and NUT though to ask if you can have anything else!

I think that you must be mistaken. If you are having Protein shakes then you are on full liquids that can include:

shakes

puddings

Jello

yogurt

strained Soups

thin soupy cereals

6 weeks is to long i dont think thats healthy. im on a full liquid for 2 wks. i cant imagine 6 wks

Can't lie. 6 weeks would make me a very frustrated person. This is the most extreme post-op diet I've seen.

No mistake I'm on the same diet I was on before surgery and that was clear liquids. I asked him twice could I add anything the answer was no. I go back to my nut on Wednesday hopefully he will add eggs and cheeses.

I see this!!

gnv my doc is to

Wow......that does seem really extreme!

Straight from clear liquids to eggs??? I think its full liquids then puree food/mushies then soft food and reg food.

I wouldn't think c lear liquids for 6 weeks was healthy enough. I haven't even heard of a pre op diet being clear liquids.

Who is your Dr and what city/state?

Do u have paperwork for your diet?

How are you feeling? I hope your doing okay, that just seems so extreme.

Your in my thoughts. Keep us updated on how ur doing!

I'm in Maryland, Dr. Cantor. I have papers that he gave me that still say clear liquids. I have no energy and no desire to drink anything. Forcing myself to finish one Protein drink a day. Not even sure if it will get better with other foods added.

Bless your heart!!! Order you some unjury unflavored protein powder and their chicken soup protein powder. You can make a yummy broth and then the unflavored add to your crystal lights.

Try your absolute best, its temporary, its your time to heal your body.
