5 Days out & I cheated

[Justaprettyface 45]

After 5 days of just Water & some broth (I really can't stomach Isopure or artificial sweetener stuff) I had 1/2 of a Premier Protein shake. Couldn't do more than that. Started to regurgitate. I'm so hungry and disappointed. Just needed to vent.

I realize every surgeon is different but when I leave the hospital I will be on Protein shakes. I can think of worse things you could have cheated with.

My surgeon expects me to drink Protein shakes after surgery.

How fast did you drink it?

[Justaprettyface 45]

@@2goldengirl I don't think to fast. Since then I've only taken a few little sips of Water. I'm just hungry.

It hasn't been like this : seems like today I was able to drink Water freely. I was feeling pretty good. My husband & I took a day trip. Stopped at a diner where he ordered a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings & sweet potato fries. That was so hard to sit through as I sipped on broth.

He's been grazing all day and he thinks HE'S hungry. Dang. Maybe that, accompanied by just Clear liquids is getting the best of me.

I think I should go to sleep

I wasn't released from the hospital until I could drink 10 ounces of Protein drinks... There are lots of ups and downs before you feel normal... I don't think you cheated though... I've learned that as much as I am a rule follower, I also need to listen to my body... Good luck hon!

I fail to see how that is cheating. I really do.

On my second day I was having 1oz Premier Protein shake per hour.

On my third it was double that.......fourth day and further out it grew to 33 oz per day.

I think you are doing great. Don't beat yourself up.

I am not a doctor. I have no medical training....nor did I sleep in a Holiday In Express last night......so you've been warned that I most likely don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

You're fine...a Protein shake isn't a cheat. Surprised your doctor doesn't have you on them already.

Whew... I thought you had a cheeseburger or pizza... just a Protein shake??? Your being very hard on yourself...

My surgeon and NUT doesn't allow Protein shakes until have 5 days of clear liquid, so I feel your pain :/ I'm going on day 3 post-op. I can't stomach Jello well at all, and I'm so tired of broth from my 10 day pre-op.

I don't think you cheated either. Just try your Protein shake intake much slower.

I am 5 days post op too!

It will get better, i honestly believe it.

[Justaprettyface 45]

Ok according to my docs protocol I've advanced to Protein shakes lol. And I like chicken broth better today. Damn crazy tastebuds
