First Week Post-op

I had my surgery on July 31st with Dr. Hata at Frye Regional Medical Clinic in Hickory NC. I wasn't particularly nervous until the day of which is par for the course with me. Takes a lot to rattle this fella.

Anyway it's been a week out and I've done good I was out of the hospital in about 32 hours and have had no complications. I've taken my time with drink drink drinking. A waterholic even.

I've read how a lot of people have issues getting protein in initially and I haven't had this issue. Am I just fortunate or is it my desire to stick to the strict regimen I set for myself? I am keeping a site detailing all of this stuff and I'll paste my schedule post-op. I see the doctor tomorrow for my follow-up and just want to make sure I didn't do anything wrong. Mind you what I pasted is from a static page I wrote to make available to others. Hence the sentence structure.

• First Meal – 8:15AM – Protein drink: 4oz fat free skim milk + 1 scoop Isopure No Carb Protein Powder (Flavor is up to you!) You may use 8ozs (1cup) for this I still prefer the protein shot method.
• Second Meal – 10:00AM – 8oz water, 1/2 pack Crystal Light single serve (Flavor is up to you), 1/2 scoop Unjury Flavorless Protein. Mix your powder in slowly, if you just dump it in you will end up with a clumpy nasty mess!
• Third Meal – 12:30PM – Time for something savory! This can be any low-fat cream soup, bouillon or even egg drop soup. Just use another scoop of the Unjury Flavorless Powder to get your protein in with this. I use all three and consume 8 oz for this meal.
• Fourth Meal – 4:00PM – My homemade protein shot like the first meal.
• Fifth Meal – 6:00PM – Meal just like Meal two. (We’re rounding out our scoop of Unjury this way.)
• Sixth Meal – 7:30PM – I prefer a nice hot cup of bouillon to close out my day. It’s savory and warm. It relaxes the pouch. Just remember to use more flavorless protein.
• Total Protein Intake – 80 grams

Thank you for taking to to read/advise.

Wow!  Great job on getting your protein in!  I wasn't so good at that in the beginning.  =)

 SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB!   KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!  CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR COMMITMENT!

Wow, you're doing great.  Thanks for sharing, I will keep this for my postop info.

Great job! Hopefully, I can get mine in like you once I have my surgery.

Congrats!!You are doing great!! I was concerned too as I could get all my water and protein in, I like to think it's cause I am focused and was soo ready to get this behind me to get on the loser's bench! Keep up the great work !!

 I had my surgery the same day!

I am struggling with the protein intake, but I just have flavored powder that is so sweet it is making me ill. I like the ideas of unflavored to help get more in. Like you, I am loving water and soup. Thanto for the ideas!
