At one week NOTHING. Only clear fluids and not more than 4 oz per sitting. At 5 weeks and on not more than 3-4 oz per meal of Protein. Like what you would feed a 9 month old baby

My Protein goal is 100 grams Protein. So at one week, I was on full liquids and consuming 100 grams protein and pretty close to 64 oz Fluid.

I am in the UK . Here we only on clear fluids for the 1st two days.

My program (everyone else is different):

First 24-48 Clear Liquids, if tolerated well, move to full liquids, Protein shakes//broth/strained creamed Soups.

At the pureed stage 2 oz Protein (eg. cheese, egg, cottage cheese... etc.), 1/4c vegetables (eg. cauliflower), 1/4c starch (eg. cream of wheat, quinoa, while grain cereals), 1 tsp fat (eg. Peanut Butter, hummus, mayo).

I was also on liquids at that point. And over the next couple of weeks my entire food catalog consisted of sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles, broth, and Protein shakes, and Water. It wasn't hard because I had no appetite.

Congrats on your surgery! It gets better day by day.

Everyone's program is different. ON day 1 after surgery, I was on Water and ice chips (30 mls water every hour). On day 2 after surgery, i was on 4oz of high Protein Shake or low-sodium strained cream Soup three times a day, and 64 ounces of Clear Liquids. From day 3-day 14 (so now), I am allowed four 8 ounce high Protein shake (less than 150 calories per 8 ounces), 32 ounces of clear fluids. Sugarfree popsicles count as clear Fluid, but no Jello post-surgery. I can substitute one of the Protein Shakes with strained low-fat healthy request cream soup or a light greek yogurt (Dannon light and fit Greek is what's recommended). Premier Protein shakes are discouraged as they are made from whey protein concentrate (instead of isolate) and have oil, cellulose gums and gel, and carrageenan in them.

After 2 weeks i will have a follow up visit with my surgeon and nut, and they will determine whether I advance to the pureed stage or stay on liquids for another week. I was on the liquid diet for 2 weeks pre-surgery, so it's getting pretty old. Yup, 19 days with no solid food so far, only 11 to go!

@@leebick What kind of Protein shakes do you use? I'm back to them for a little while and while I DID use the Premier Protein during my full liquid phase, it's repulsive now. I'm looking for something a little more palatable while I get through this little speed bump I've hit.

I use the Syntrax Nectars. They are 100% whey Protein isolate, so 23 gm protein, no fat, no carbs (unless you mix them with skim milk or unsweetened almond milk). If you go to Si03.com and run your cursor over the upper right quadrant, it tells you how to order a sampler pack of the nectars. It's 15 packets, one each of their flavors, for $17 (shipping included). That way you can taste them all and see what you like before making an investment. You mix them with either Water or milk (you really don't want to mix the grapefruit flavor with milk- UCK!). I buy the 2lb bottles at luckyvitamin.com (cheapest source I could find).
