i,m on my 7th day post op. today i,m suppose to start regular fluids. i made myself a ensure with my scoop of protein in it. i could only get in 2 ounces. now i have the shits lol..is it better to like put 2 scoops of protein in it , as i just might get more protein in me when i,m not getting the whole glass in........................thank you..............saddie

Sadie,have you tried drinking 1 To 2 oz every 15min?

..........not really, it took like 30 mins just to get the 2 ounces down

I wouldn't be forcing in too much protein right now.....Take it slowly. Look at the label of your ensure and take notice of the sugar content in it. That is what's giving you the shits.... Too much sugar. I love the Premier Chocolate Shakes and I buy them at Costco. They have minimum sugar. Also, if it's on your diet plan, eat some yogurt or sf jello or pudding. Those really help. Keep the sugar down to a minimum. Hope you feel better......
