Should I be
Should I be on clear fluids 10 days post-op? Since my surgery I have had a lot of water, tea, clear broth, sugar free jello. I have to read over my material...but wondered where others were at in their diet. I am not having any protein at this point? Is that O.K ? So far no poop...is that normal?
I have been reading all this here, but I guess I want to be reassured. Thank You Lola

hi lola....congrats on making it to the losers bench!!!
now....YES you should be on protein!!!! didn't they give you an after surgery list of what to do?? i was using what they gave me (well i had to buy it) also i used sf carnation instant breakfast with ff milk and a scoop of protein powder in it. i have always used ANY WHEY protein powder because it has no taste and you can also use it in cooking and it doesn't clump up.
PLEASE CALL YOUR DR AND ASK WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING BEFORE YOU GET YOURSELF SICK AND BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL!!!!

Every surgeon is different but it seems strange that you are not getting in any protein now. Most all surgeons..... that I know of insist on protein right from the start.
I was on liquids for 2 weeks after surgery. We were told to have 3 Glucose Control High Protein Boost's a day. Protein is very important. We even got them while in the hospital.
You need to contact your surgeons office right away. This dooesn't seem right to me!!
Good luck....let us know how you are doing and what your surgeon had to say.
