My doc has us eating 5-6 times per day and only 1 oz. I am only in week 4 post-op and supposed to focus on eating foods that don't crunch and don't need to be cut with a knife and fork.
Today my menu is planned as follows:
I am also still using some Protein supplements to get to 60g:
I've been diagnosed with a potassium deficiency (hence the banana appearing in my diet) and I am required to drink one 20 oz Revive Vitamin Water. I have to mix it one part Vitamin Water to 3 parts water, so I will end up drinking about 80 oz of water on top of my Protein drinks today if I do exactly what I was told to do. As much as I want to stop the light headedness and numb face and fingers, I don't think I can drink that much and still get my food in. I will likely only end up with 40 oz of the water mixture by the end of the day. I was surprised to get a recommendation to drink something that had calories and sugar, but if I can only do half in a day, that's an added 60 calories.
