I have to crush all of my pills and open any capsules for 8 weeks. The Protein is harder for me but I wouldn't describe it as pain. I can do liquids but it is easier with warm broth, warm decaf tea, or half Water with half juice. Sample and see what is best for you.

I certainly don't have all the answers but it seems as though liquid would be more important in the first few days. I'm on day 5 and I may be further post op than you.

My surgeon said to walk and sip at the same time to make it easier.

I'm 4 days post and feel like I'm always starving maybe I am or maybe it's all mental. I'm not too sure. I am having a hard time getting my Protein Drink down(I'm drinking the isopures ready to drink) it quite frustrating. I do pretty well with apple sauce, tomato Soup, chicken noodle soup, and scrambled eggs (I hate eggs).

I don't know about your plan, but Protein shakes will go toward my daily liquid goal. So if you drank 60 oz of Protein shakes, you got 60 oz of liquids. Also, my NUT said that for the first week post op, drinking Water is the priority, to help avoid dehydration.

Have you been moving around to get that gas worked out of your system? The gas pains are a pain, but you will get through and feel so much better

Yeah, walk alot...I think its just the danged ol gas...

My surgeon wants me to get 100gr Protein and 64 oz Fluid daily...and I am on liquids for 4 more days, and the can add soups/ food.

Very fortunate to have a very supportive spouse who had DS Surgery and is patient...

I always cringe at how little Protein if at all im getting. Just trying to focus on drinking and gauging when to stop. Protein drinks make me gag. I'd rather not gag. Probably start closer to my next appointment which is Thursday. Still getting bad gas pain in my chest. But able to drink more at one time. Really would like food lol. Help!

My team said if it hurts to drink, you are doing something wrong. Too big of a gulp, to fast, etc. The gas may be the type of Protein in your shake. Try a different shake. I had to move to a different protein type because of this. The bad gas pain in your chest is GI tract spasms. They can prescribe something to help with that too. Hope that helps!
