  • If you feel she is wrong then question her. It's YOUR health. It's YOUR life. Make your OWN informed judgement and add a dash of common sense. Sorry to sound harsh.

    I was on full liquids as soon as I could pass my swallow test. In the hospital less than 24 hours after surgery, my "food" tray had a Protein shake, Jello, and broth. You can't heal without protein

  • I will do that, I might just need an outlet

OK I remember u r about a week out. I am not a medical professional and honestly I would not normally say go against your NUT but before you tried food this early, I would at least try Protein shake instead - unless there is so me medical reason that your Dr doesn't allow it. The protein shake would certainly be a much safer choice than food. And it will help with the hunger. Just take it slow. Make it a good choice (high protein / low sugar).

. Yea they were just worried about calories. Never gave a real reason . Ima look soon

The Premier Protein ready made shakes are 160 calories with 30g of protein and only 1g of carb (I think - it might be 4g) and is 11 oz. They are very good - or at the very least tolerable. So, does your NUT work at your dr's office? If not, I think I would call the surgeon's office and ask for the nurse. When do you go back for your first follow up?

yea she works at the surgeons office Ima just call my primary NUT. Tomorrow ..

Girl I don't think I could make it without the protein shakes however the vanilla shakes (milk based but I mix with water) that I was doing before surgery go right through me so. I've been doing protein water from GNC. I get to start having soft foods after Tuesday. Funny because the first thing I'm looking at is refried beans lol . Hang in there. I had to start a new plan on my bible You Version App today because I really needed a distraction. It was a gloomy day! ❤️

I read my plan today to and went for a walk. A great distraction .. But the rumbles are loud lol ..

If you are not having Protein shakes what are you having?

When I was at your stage, lamb broth really helped me with cravings.

I have condensed soups varieties. Cream soup. Pudding applesauce with doesn't agree with me. I had lobster bisque didn't agree with that either. I have a black bean soup it came blended .. Greek yogurt which also didn't agree. Waters zero calorie powerade love those keeps me sane. And that's it

Why not Syntrax Nectar? It is the same consistency as water.

Never heard of it. I will add to my list .. I'm going through my foods since my stomach isn't tolerating some of them

Ah, ladies, if you are not getting enough protein, like I wasn't, expect for your hair to start falling out. I had some hair flying out, I freaked out and thanks to another lady here found a good solution for me. Went to the health store and picked up two bottles of isopure. Tried the black tea- real lemony but had worse and I am tired of shakes, so it was nice to drink a liquid. Not the best tea in the world, but with 40 g of protein in 20 oz, I am sold. I also bought the punch flavor, that is for manana =) I am so .... happy

Well it depends on what your stomach can handle I guess I had surgery a week ago and I can pretty much eat anything in moderation like you I was super hungry I had oatmeal this morning it was pretty good I also blend my oats to thin it out kind of like a shake

Yea I can probably eat. Just have wait a little longer .. See what my doctor says.. I need protein that's my concern

If you look around on the site they have a lot of flavors. You might want to look around where you live. I think Vitamin Shoppe has the single serve sample packs, and so do supplement stores, not health food stores. Look for the stores the meat heads go to.
