Topic: RE: How much protein (oz) are you able to get in 5 days post op??
My doc told me to stay away from the bullets because they are collagen based and we dont absorb the protein. So I am now gwtting in about 50-6- grams of protein through the yucky shakes :( but he still wants me up to 70 grrrrrrr.
I am not cleared for puree food for another 3 weeks :(
I also am still having a hard time with all the fluids, I am supposed to take in a total of 64 oz of fluid a day I get about 50.
I will try to stick to a schedule, thanks everyone for all the ideas :)

I agree, the Lord must have different plans for you. I am willing to bet even better plans than you could have imagined :-) I can relate because my surgery was scheduled for Sept. 28th also, and it is now rescheduled for Nov 5th. Use this time to your advantage and be not only emotionally prepared but also physically prepared for a smooth surgery and a smoother recovery. You are going to be great!
Take care

Topic: RE: laproscopic wound opened
Yes, my doc told me to go ahead and take off the steri-strips now (1 week out) and I was able to successfully get them off of 1 of the incisions (4 total plus drain tube site) but all the others started to gape open so I quickly covered them back up with the steri-strip, however it's already pulled halfway off and I'm afraid it won't close back up tight and there will be a horrible scar. I see the doc again tomorrow am so I'll see what they decide to do about it at that time.

That is a great idea- the protein bullets. I am 7 days out and cannot tolerate the protein shakes at all. All I am getting protein from is the yogurt at this point. Although now I am cleared to start puree' I will hopefully be able to get in some more protein now and ditch the shakes altogether! I found out that we can eat refried beans with ff cheese for a puree meal and that must pack a lot of protein since beans and dairy are good protein sources. Anyone tried this idea yet? I am scared at this point to try anything new. But I've lost 11 pds so I'm happy.
