I'm assuming my new tummy is pretty swollen because I'm definitely not getting in the ounces or calories I thought I would be. I was actually pretty nervous about following the post-op liquids only diet but it's been much better than I thought.
I am trying to stay hydrated and not be overly concerned with protein right now.
My liquid diet so far is as follows:
Breakfast - 3 oz. of warm tea mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury unflavored protein powder
Snack - 2-3 oz. of water or water mixed w/ crystal light
Lunch - 2-3 oz. of warm low sodium chicken broth mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury
Snack - about 1/2 a container of Jell-O, 2-3 oz water
Dinner - 3 oz. of warm tea (or broth) mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury unflavored protein powder
Water whenever I think of it. Sip, sip, sip!
Gas pains are getting better as I've been walking. I haven't walked outside yet because we are having nasty Santa Ana winds today.
I am following this liquid diet for another 9 days so hopefully it'll be this easy next week!
