I've been drinking my protien as much as you can on 1/4 of a cup at a time

but I still don't seem to be getting my energy level back. I am 6 days post op and with of course the several days of not eating before surgery and and now I can't seem to get enough energy. Second, I have been having problem with my ankle in my right leg swelling (also prior to surgery) and then it feels like theres no circulation. Prior to surgery they did a Venous doppler and it came back negative for blood clots and last night it bothered me so much I went to the ER and they did another, with a negative result again. Now as I sit here I feel a slight temperature coming. Should I start to eat a bit more or what do any of you think? I'm just so afraid to eat because I'm afraid I will tear something or hurt myself and I'm going through great depression. Any and all advice welcome.
