I'M POST OP NOW ANS STRICKLY ON LIQUIDS, WHAT DOES YOUR LIQUID INTAKE OF...
Hi Cheri-I'm glad your doing better. I had open RNY and was in the hospital for 5days. They sent me home on pureed food. All doctors are different on what they want you to do. With that being said, I think I have been eating to much so today I am only going to do water and protein shakes. Yesterday, I started to have some pain when I ate or even when I drank some water. I am going to give my pouch a day off. So it might be better in the long run if I didn't eat food yet. As far as the liquid I think we are supposed to drink 2 quarts of liquid a day. I have not made it to that goal yet.Can you have SF popsicles? Hang in there Cheri. joyce
What about chicken broth and sf jello. My nutritionist suggested both for all "meals". I'm having surgery on Tuesday and I hope the broth and jello will feel like a real meal. At least with jello, you get to have something sort of solid. My surgeon says that for the first few weeks we should try to get at least 64 oz total of liquids. That's including protein drinks, jello, popcicles, etc. Hope that helps.
