What do you typically ingest during the day at this point after surgery? I want to know if im taking enough or i should take more or less.. thanks in advance

My surgeon & nutritionist gave me very specific guidelines to follow at certain stages post-op. Did you get anything like that? If not, I would call your surgeon's office.

I do have it, im just curious to know what somebody else is having on a day.thanks!

I'm three days out too and I'm on full liquids for two weeks. Right now I drink three protein drinks(8oz each) and four cups of water(8oz each). I did try cream of wheat watered down this morning but that was too much. I can also have sugar free popsicles, applesauce, jello or a cream soup strained but I'm waiting till next week to try those.

3 days out I was on water. Didn't introduce hello or protein until day 4. Every doc is different. Try to follow your guidelines though. Be 100% sure you can have that stuff so early.

I was on liquids for 1 week. By day 2 I was having water, protein, and chicken broth. Today I am 1 week post op and have moved to puréed. I can't fathom eating puréed meats so I'm on yogurt, applesauce, and sugar free pudding for 2 weeks.

Ah, ok. My prescribed post-op diet is 3 days of clear liquids only and then 5 weeks (!) of full liquids. At least 64 oz of liquids each day.
