I am 8 days post op. Had post op dr visit today. Still trying to get in 20 oz per day which i know is vrry low Will be re-admitted if I can't get fluids & Protein in really soon (48 hrs)

I've tried a lot of things. Room temp Jello (sf) hurts when it hits the"sleeve". Iced anything hurts. Protien drinks I've tried have made me very nauseated I've tried nectar,gnc weybolic, Isopure, unjury...

Any tips out there?

I really don't want to go back to hospital !!

thank you for the responses! So far I'm not back in hospital. I've used each tip that y'all have offered. Again, thanks so much.

Warm tea, broth, room temp crystal light, Gatorade, ice pops, watered down juice,.

It sounds like your tummy is a little raw yet. Are you on a PPI (like protonix) that might help with the extra acid. Good Luck

Liquids are more important than protein right now, so concentrate on staying hydrated

Baby sips, slowly slowly does it. You need to control the amount of Water or liquids you're taking in so you don't swallow an amount that is painful as it goes down or once it hits your new tummy nI had the same problem and have to take little sips frequently. Ice Popsicles helped too. Good luck

Gatorade, Gatorade and Gatorade. I "drank" mine with a spoon as if it were cold soup. Don't worry about the carbs for now, just get it in. When things get easier, water it down. I still turn turn to Gatorade on days like today when I just couldn't get myself to drink.

I'm 9 days out, and I'm drinking beef broth.
