5 days post op!

[starlightpunk]

So here I am, day 5. WOW Where did time go? Its my second full day being home and I am having a hard time figuring out a time line for my day.

I was interested in what your timelines were like to make sure you are getting your protein and fluids in?

Right now I am on full liquids and have been lacing my soups with unflavored protein scoops (22G / scoop) and my protein shakes are only giving me 12g/ shake but I am thinking of adding more protein into them with the unflavored.

My other problem is I dont know when is too soon to eat again? I figured 2-3 hours inbetween bt just to consume a protein shake it takes me a little over an hour and a half.... so by my theory this is what it should look like: So 10 am soup..... 12pm protein shake.... 2 pm soup.... 4 pm protein shake... 6 pm soup... 8 pm protein shake


I think im driving myself crazy. INSIGHT?

Don't worry about an eating schedule. Make sure you get your protein. The shakes don't have enough calories for you to take in to many.

If you want to have protein shakes add some greek yogurt that's like 19 gram of protein.check the sugar.

I think your plan sounds good, but you might want to avoid whatever it is about it that is driving you crazy. Relax a bit and pay attention to the cues your body is giving you. It sounds like you're off to a great start!
