My surgeon is not allowing me to drink Protein until week 5 because of leakages. I asked her in an email why I can't introduce protein until week five and this is what she says :

it is to prevent leakage because of the consistency of protein.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I started on 1 Oz Protein shakes the day after in hospital and was on them alone for 2 weeks.
