I had surgery on March 19, 2019. I am doing okay. I'm not in pain, and I'm recovering well. I do have concerns about the Protein intake, I was doing okay with the Protein Shakes up until a few days ago, and now I gag everytime I go to drink one. I'm still getting 1 down, but not getting my protein in that I need. I am drinking plenty of Water. I also get my Multivitamin down, but cant chew the Calcium tablets. I have my 2 week post-op appointment on April 3, 2019. I'm excited to move on to the puree diet and see how things progress.

Try the clear Protein Drinks if you can. Good one is Premier Protein Clear, have also done Protein 2 0 and even Ensure has a clear ones a little less protein but passable. Also try cutting your shakes half-strength with skim milk, sure it make take longer,but we all use these tricks if necessary. Sir Protein Powder in your protein fluids, add it where you can. For a shor5 while I even drank skim milk with a scoo0 of GENEPRO in it.And you wIll make it through.

I only do Protein Water on the rarest occasion cos that smell of whey just finishes me.

My alternative is 1% Milk with 10% skim milk powder added. That isn’t a fave due to carbs from the lactose in the milk, but right now you need protein to heal, Calcium, and Vitamin D all of which come with the milk (not enough, but more than nothing).

FWIW I still have a latte daily with a Decaf expresso shot and and this fortified milk. Whaps a third of my protein in in an indulgent feeling and comforting way, then avoid carbs in meals to balance.

I'm drinking Protein Water to help get more protein in also. I'm only a few days out.
