Tomorrow I will be one wee post-op
Tomorrow I will be one week post op. I still have soreness but nothing that is over the top crazy. Don't need pain meds for it. I am getting in my liquids and an say that today I hit the 64 oz. The big thing I can say I can not do is get in the clear liquid proteins that was on my list I can't stomach the Isopure or the New way in any way shape or form....gag! My surgeon said this first week he was more concerned with me getting my liquids in. He keeps R&Y on clear liquids a week....with that said I think that is the reason I can say right now I stay so tired. the only thing I am getting is real juice 2oz dilute with 2oz of water 4 times a day. So, this being said....I HAVE NO Energy. I go back to the doctor on Wed and then should get to start a pureed diet...I think then I might start getting some energy back.
I am still having issues with the my pinched nerve in my neck and my left scapula our of join. Was able to go back an see my chiro today. That is the only reason I need pain meds for this and not my surgery.
I understand the pinched nerve. I had one that lasted about two weeks post op in my left shoulder. Nice job on your water intake. It took me about three weeks to be able to get all my water in. Welcome to the loser bench! :)

Thank you. Yes I have been dealing with this pinched nerve and dislocated scapula for about a month now. 64 oz was all liquids not jus****er. That is all I can have right now is clear liquids....lol. sure it will be a challenge once I start getting food and have to stop drinking 20-30 minutes before and 20-30 minutes after each meal
Ditto on Costco Premier protein. I tried the vanilla and didn't like it much but the chocolate is yummy. It tastes like chocolate milk!

agree I have been on preop liquid phase and am on day 8 ending. Isopure is not a keeper so sweet and gritty. One thing I have done to make it tolerable and better is add Torani sugar free flavor to it or dump a crystal light packet in it to flavor away but it is still so sweet, I will not be buying anymore of it. Unjury is much better and I am using the premier shakes also. I thought of stopping tomorrow and picking up a sample of the nectar brand also. I can tell for sure Unjury and Premier are by far the best two I have found.
