4 days postop, managed 30oz of protein shake today...

of course i did it over about 4 hours and added ice a couple times...but still, i'm feeling good about the restriction i feel i have plus the ability to control my intake to teaspoon sips AND still manage to get in my daily requirements!

Awesome

I did one shake yesterday and managed 6 ounces over 4 hours

Today was 4 ounces over 3 hours

Will do another one later

Terrific. Yesterday I was also at Day 4, and I struggled to get 4 ounces of Protein in 1 1/2 hours. This morning, Day 5, I was able to take 4 ounces in 1 hour. I have a kitchen timer set to go off every 15 minutes, as a reminder that "it is time". Best of luck!

That is awesome. . Question: is anyone drinking anything other than protein drinks during your first few days post op?? Is it because you have such small sips the reason it takes so long? Just curious.. Thanks and keep up the good work all !!

my first 2 days i was clear liquid only and only AFTER i had my leak test done at the hospital. now i am full liquids and also having Jello, yogurt, pudding, cream Soups, milk.

today i managed to do TWO 21 oz Protein Shakes in the morning, both mixed with extra milk and ice and 2 bottles of Water, so my liquids are met. had yogurt for Breakfast, cream of potato Soup for lunch, sugar free pudding mid-afternoon. tonight it's more soup for dinner and sugar free jello later. i'm getting the hang of it.
