    Check with your surgeon, you should have a list or plan or something. I was ok for no chunk, fat free Greek yogurt and day 4 post surgery. I've been eating Dannon Light n Fit Greek.

I would love some tips. I'm 7 days out and only averaging 30gms protein and maybe 40oz fluid per day... I always feel full, so it's hard to get liquids in.

I never feel full, im averaging 2 12oz protein shakes 23 grams each & today was the first day i got 20 oz of water in. Someone told me this & im gonna try it. Set my alarm every hour & drink 4 oz of shake then 4 oz of water every other hour.

531diva, try special k protein mix for water. It has 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. The strawberry/kiwi is my favorite but it also comes in pink lemonade. I use 4 packs a day in 16 oz bottles of water. I get my 64 oz and 20 grams of protein while getting in my liquids. They only have 30 calories and 1 carb per packet.
