I need to know what to drink for the first two weeks after surgery.  I have bought protein shakes but don't know if I am supposed to start that yet or if that is for the pureed stage.  Any helpful advice and recipes would be great?

Check with your doctor. I started them right away, but some docs hold off on them for the first week or more. I sipped protein shakes and water all day. It'll be hard to get it all in when you start out. Just do the best you can. I drank crystal light (diluted more than normal), Propel water, Diet splash, and the protein shakes. I started out on Boost in the hospital and the first couple of days at home. Good luck to you!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...
