HI Quick question.  Friend had her DS on Tuesday came home friday goes next Thursday to get drain out.

Talking about protein for the 1st week after surgery.  How much should she be trying to get in?

Obviously gonna be liquid and not food. 

I totally had a brain fart and cannot think that far back.  lol

She feels good so far and is totally excited about doing this.

Thanks,

Rhonda

 I believe it is 30g a day BY 30 days.  So she need not worry about protein just yet.  Fluids, walking and resting are her only requirements for the next couple weeks.

Thank You so much for the responses.

That is pretty much what I figured.

She said she swears she smells broth oozng from her pores.  LOL

Told her what you all said fluids and walk and rest.

Thanks again.

Oh yeah, the freaky sense of smell!! Tell her that's totally normal too and to hang in there, it gets better.

I'm at week 4 and the smell now comes and go now.  I did walk around the first week too saying, my skin stinks!  My husband thought I was crazy. :)
Pick your surgery first, then your surgeon. Not the other way around.

I'm tired of screwing with that damn health widget.

So glad to hear about the smell.  I just took my first shower.  I had to wait because my drain port was still oozing and my central line site was still raw.  Even after scrubbing I SWEAR I smell like a hoagie shack.  Everyone is telling me I'm crazy but I swear I stink.
