Depends if your dr said OK to introduce food. Me only liquid and protein shake, some dilute yogurt with milk. I didn't try yet. My surgery was march 16 bypass

My hardest part is getting 64 oz of liquids a day down, it's like I can only drink 1 cup a day and I don't start my protein until the 5th day which is sunday

My surgery was March 18th and I had a Protein shake yesterday 2 oz. of greek yogurt and chicken broth for dinner. It's amazing after only a few days! You are doing great if you are already doing the pureed stuff

Ok how did u tolerate the protein shake i don't start mines until tomorrow have u had a bm

I actually had a BM on day 2 so they wanted me to try to protein shake and yogurt before I left

I have since had 4 oz of a protein shake this morning and everything has been fine! You will be fine

Thank u,

Just sip slowly. I also only made the 4 oz and it took me like 25 min to drink it all.

@cnjashton u said it took 25 minutes to drink a 4 oz, it takes me all day I am really having a hard time getting my fluids down, even if I drink a little sip I get the hiccups

I had same problem, so I try 30ml every 15 min. It helped. Also very ice cold water goes down better. I didn't like ice water before lol. I have to return my unjury protein the chicken soup was good before but now I can't stand it!

How far u r

Only 1 week

How has it been going r u able to get ur 75 -90 proteins down and ur 64oz of fluids, and r we allowed to drink apple juice as a fluids

My surgery was March 13, and I have been having Protein shakes, yogurt, Jello, chicken broth since day 2. I am allowed to start trying some puréed foods tomorrow, so will start with a very lightly, runny scrambled egg, and maybe some cottage cheese. I had hiccups the night of my surgery, and thought I was gonna die!! I haven't had them since. You might be going too fast on what you are eating. Your body may not be able to process that yet.

As for Protein Shakes, I love them, and mix up a blender full almost every morning, and drink on that all day. It helps me feel more energetic. I feel great, overall! I hope you can get rid of the hiccups, and get your fluids in! Good luck!!!

Thank u , I hope so to even if I take a little sip I still have them even it I just put a drop on my tongue I still have em
