8 days post op! Miserable

Hi. I am in UK.

It seems other places have more variety for liquid stage.

No jello ( We call jelly) No yogurt, no pudding.

All I am allowed is. :

Broth, Cordial like crystal light, ice pops, water, milk.

I am so weak.. :( I have no energy and I have 14 days of this!!

( No regrets of the op just feel miserable)

I am surprised that you aren't allowed any protein. I remember feeling weak, but was able to drink protein shakes at least. Well, you are more than halfway there. Keep plugging. So sorry you're feeling miserable.

Thank you so much i will keep plugging on!

2 weeks liquids

but soon i will be able to move onto puree i think that stage will be easier lol :) thanks

No protein shakes?

No, they do not want me to have it , they want me to drink a pint of milk a day instead , I have been email my dietician back and fourth all day :(

Weird. Do you have access to something like Fairlife milk in the US? It's a milk that has a higher protein than normal milk and might satisfy your nurse?

UK*

And I am not sure about that, but they asked me to use something called Marvel, which I bought its like milk powder they want me to add to skim milk it is alright at first then very sickly hahah will look into something like that fairlife as they would be fine with that!! thank you!!

Sorry - I realized my phrasing was bad. I meant to say "do you have Fairlife milk like we have in the US?" But I left out a few words!

I was able to drink protein shakes as soon as I came home just one day after surgery. Call your surgeons office and double check that you are doing the right thing. If you are allowed to drink milk, it seems like you could drink a thin protein shake.

I have been speaking to my dietician almost everyday lol she said she would prefer i drink one pint of milk a day than to drink a protien shake!

I told her that a couple of days ago i only had 4 ounce of a protien shake but she said she would prefer i drink milk :)
