12 days out HELP!!!
What do you mean by "full liquids"? Protein shakes? I drink the costco premier shakes, and they are pretty much the same texture as my clear liquids (and I can get 30g of protein in 11oz) - they are very thin. If you feel like they are too thick, water them down a little (not too much or you'll be drinking forever to get your protein in.
Remember small sips, I got that feeling at the beginning if my sips were too big.
If you really can't get anything down, I guess isopure or other similar drinks are an option, though I can't recommend that because I can't stand them :-p
Don't worry - once the swelling goes down, it will get easier!

I am also 12 days post-op and I would agree with the other posters about the amount you sip and swallow, if I swallow any liquid to fast it feels like it is sitting in my throat but if I make a conscience effort to sip and swallow slowly I don't get that feeling. And dehydration is really very important to avoid. Good luck and I hope thinning your protein drink helps. I use to make mine with water and now I use lactaid.
