what if i can't eat?
if i don't eat at all, but i get in 84 grams of protein will i be ok? i am soooo sick. all i want to do is sleep and cough. my throat hurts so badly, and i have no interest at all in food. i barely ate yesterday, i forced 2 slices of healthy choice roast beef, but i got my protein in with the liquid. i just don't want my body to go into "starvation mode".
any thoughts?

Aw, Patricia. I'm so sorry that you are feeling so sick. How aweful.
I would think that it would be OK to get your protein in with liquids if you are feeling sick. Atleast you are staying hydrated and getting protein. I have heard of people before going back to the basics to jump start a stall, so I would think it wouldn't hurt. You just have to do what you have to do to get better. If you have questions, is your doctor in today? Maybe they can shed some light or even some people on a older board that is further out for surgery...or the main board.
Hope you are feeling better soon. Please do take care.
Hugs and chicken soup,

I think as long as you keep your protein up at the correct levels (using liquid protein sources ) you will be fine and of course your fluids. Lots and lots of fluids.
As always I would give your surgeon a call and see what they say. They might have different advice for you.
*HUGS* Feel better soon!!

Patricia,
As everyone ele said your Dr. will have the answer for you but I know that when I had the dry heaves and could not really eat anything at all my Dr. said the yes liquid protein would keep things going. Not on a long term basis but if I ever felt sick than that was a good source. As long as your protein is up to what it should be and your fluids are still up if not beyond what they should be.
I am so sorry that you are having such a rough time. Hot tea for the throat might help...I hope.
Get some rest and feel better soon,
Hugs,
