1st day on next phase-need to slow down

Thursday was the first day on my next phase of soft foods. For breakfast I had one scrambled egg. Snack of string cheese. For lunch (around 3) one tablespoon of canned chicken shredded with a touch of mayo. Dinner (around 6:30) one tablespoon of ground beef with gravy. I had 12 cups of liquids throughout the day. I did not have a BM all day-but I did each of the 3 prior days. I woke up Friday so uncomfortable. I felt constipated/stuffed. I had a fruit cup for breakfast on Friday. I know this was not protein but I thought the fiber would help me go. It did-2x and I started to feel better. I took some MOM too. For lunch I had peanut butter off the spoon. I pushed even more fluids all day. I definitely did not hit my protein goals but this morning I am feeling SOOOOO much better. I think I will start with a Greek yogurt for breakfast today and limit my soft food to only one meal instead of every meal. I know it is trial and error-so glad I feel better.

Hi. Each surgeon has different guidelines. The goal for me is 60 grams of protein and since I can't each much I use the protein shakes. Many people on here do. I use EAS chocolate fudge muscle build and pure protein vanilla. I may branch out and try another type this week, but I do like these two
