5 days post op

[KFraz 4]

Okay, so I'm 5 days post op and I'm so over broth. Thank God for the creamy Soups, Protein Powder shakes, and sugar free popsicles(only yellow).

Nausea and vomiting left me at 2 days out, so the doctor felt comfortable releasing me from the hospital. So far I'm having problems getting in all of my fluids. I'm better at my shakes than I am at my Water and Crystal Light. I'm getting around pretty well and getting out some of the gas. Still no BM. Any suggestions for a BM are welcomed.

Oh, and here are my stats:

Ok so I'm 7 days post op and starting to hate foods, lol. I'm doing popsicles as well, but have stayed away from creamy Soups because I'm worried about extra has; which soups are you doing/ have you done?

Miralax was my go to. I had a chew something and spit it out on my last day of liquids. Once I got the 64 oz in daily no issues. Good Luck, it gets so much easier!

I am 4 days out. Cannot stomach the Premier Protein shakes. Cannot get my fluids in- its miserable. I am struggling with this "am I starving or am I full?" Feeling. It's the pits. SF popcicles are a savior! I am worried about not getting the Protein in so today I went to smoothies King bad got a Gladiator made skinny.... 45 Grams of protein and 6 carbs. It is going down wonderfully- thank God! No poop yet so going to make some Smooth Moves tea this afternoon. Been walking and I think the gas is pretty much gone. I can't deal with broth or creamed soups..... pretty miserable. I am down 8 pounds but at this point I could give a sh!t honestly😩I have four incisions and the one on my right is BAD!! Very painful. I just look forward to sleeping at night so I am get one more day of this nightmare liquid healing crap OVER!!

Still don't regret it though.... just a little vent.

Hi. I haven't tried Premier yet. I'm doing the Chike Protein powder, stawberry, banana, chocolate, and vanilla. I mix two flavors and put them in my Nutri Ninja w/ almond milk and a few pieces of ice. Those are a lifesaver b/c I refuse to drink anymore of the liquid whey proten vials, they taste like corn syrup😩. I'm struggling with Water mainly, so I've been doing ice along with my popsicles. I too have four incisions and the one on my right gives me the most pain. I'm able to sleep but not a straight 8 hrs; 5 hrs then am awake 2 hrs, then back to sleep 2-3 more hours. I've been active, walking down the street to my sister in laws house, I also went to the movies on Saturday with my family. I'm doing okay on my Soups b/c they are homemade from smothered chicked, and also a shrimp and corn Soup, I strain the shrimp and corn out. I only get about 1 or 2 little medicine cup fulls of soup or broth a day. I'm just ready to get to the puree stage, craving greenbeans and yams😭😭

Oh, and I regret nothing either. Today I weigh 246🎉. We'll get over this hump soon enough☺.

My favorite shakes are by LaBrada Nutrition. That have a 17oz shake with 40g or Protein. I can get two oz down before I'm full.

Popsicles are a good source of liquid so eat away.

Dehydration can occur and cause death in as little as 24 hours. Starvation takes about a week. So, you immediate risk is dehydration.

But with the way the hospital pumps you full of liquids, you have a day or two reserve to begin with.

I"m pretty sure that 4 popsicles is not a problem. 4 boxes? Maybe a problem, but I would say only because of the artificial sweeteners .

Hi, I hope your doing better. Any of the Protein powder's or premade Protein Drinks gave me the "steadies" with the bathroom, so I'm sorry, I can't help you. I just can't help. My Dr suggested Colase to all of us that needed help. I am 10 days out today (Oct 27th, surgery was the 17th) and feeling fairly good. In fact, I just might live! My blood pressure meds have already been cut in half and Mon I get to move on to the next diet level.
