being released from hospital

So im being released from hospital today just curious what did everyone eat when they got home to get their protein in? Did you still use the little cups they provide in hospital to help with fluid consumption? 

Hi,

I came home Monday. I took the extra little cups from the hospital to help me with the sipping. I was worried I would drink too much too fast. When I got home I stuck with water. The next day I did some water, a little bit of broth which I didn't like and then a Premier protein drink from Costco. The nurse did call  on Tuesday and was glad to hear I was sipping the protein drink. The dietitian had visited me in the hospital before I was discharged and so that everything had to fall off the spoon. So basically be a liquid not thick. Today is Wednesday and I think I have it down. I was drinking three little cups in an hour like they told me at the hospital but after speaking to the nurse i realize I can drink more often but keep sipping. My plan today is 2 premier drinks which is going to be 60 g of protein and the res****er. I may try vegetable broth today to see if I like it better than the chicken. My first day home was difficult because I also slept in the morning and another nap in the afternoon. To get all this fluid and you need to be awake. So being a teacher I made myself a checklist lIke i  do for my students and I color in a circle every time I can drink some water. I hope things go well for you.

Use the cups. Very handy and just the right size for sipping. I was able to sip light broth...little cup at the 15 ml mark of Jello. You can try a little sip of protein shake. If you have can of soup, make sure you strain out the lumps. Sip of camomile tea is soothing and helps move the gas.
