You didn't say how well (or not) your protein supps go/stay down. And you also didn't say if or how many times your stoma has been dilated. Have you taken this case back to your doc? Even if we go through a post-op swelling period, we MUST be able to get water through. Not optional. Food you can add later, but for now, food and protein supps are pretty mandatory. Hopefully, you'll be in touch with your doc shortly and he will fix you right up, physically, then you can progress back up through the stages.
