@@QueenBx how are you? I'm post op day 1 and the pain, dry mouth and dry lips are insane. I had a swallow study earlier and my surgeon cleared me for thin liquids but all I want to do is use the PCA and sleep. I have walked the halls a little but I need to walk more. Hope all the post-ops are doing well.

@@teedsg believe me when I tell you that you have nothing to be jealous of. Very painful!

Surgery is Dec 14th. liquid diet since Sunday.8 am on the 14th. I'm very excited about it. I have no problem with the Protein drinks. I actually like them.

@@dmw0621, glad you are doing well! I'm bout ready to switch doctors...

@@dmw0621 yesterday was very hard! Omg especially the dry mouth but I have been up walking every since I was able to, I'm not in that much pain, just lost a lot of blood due to sickle cell but other than that I'm doing great!!

@@QueenBx I'm glad you doing fine. The worst part is over! I was discharged today and headed home now. I've been looking up different ideas for thin liquids. How long will you be on thin liqiuds?

@@dmw0621 I will be on thin liquids for 2 weeks. I need to look up some things as well let me know what you come up with! So glad your home, I was released today as well.

@@QueenBx I am drinking the optisource for 10 days, crystal lite, broth, sugar free jello, sf popsicles and sf fudge pops. My broth is not usually the box. I buy soup and strain the liquids because to me the liqiuds from the soup tastes better than the broth. Oh and sip lots of water I keep a tumbler with ice water next to me at all times.

I used that idea today and bought soups and strained them. Much better than broth! Thank you!

I'm glad you like it. And if you want to get more protein you can add unflavored protein to your soup. It takes some tweeking because it does change the appearance and consistency of your soup. But at least you're getting more protein right. Oh and the same if you use crystal light you can add unflavored protein to it as well.

Yes thank you. I just ordered unflavored Protein, soon as it gets here I will be on it!
