Back to Full Liquids

Jun 09, 2009

My nutritionist responded to my email and suggested I might want to go back to full liquids for another week since I'm unable to get my fluid and protein goals on the pureed food stage.  According to the nutritionist at 3 weeks post op I should have been having 3 oz pureed foods 3 times daily and drinking 8 oz fluids in between, also a snack mid morning, mid afternoon and in the evening.  This just wasn't working for me.  I felt like I was stuffing myself and that's probably the reason I got sick Monday.  Anyway I've decided I'm going to incorporate more of the protein shakes to get more fluid and meet my protein goals.  I'm still going to try a little pureed foods, just in a smaller amount that I was trying.  Hopefully this will help.
