Even long after my surgery I still drink shakes if I feel my protein levels are low, I also eat beef jerky for snacks or a meal lol, I'm not saying you should eat beef jerky because it is high in salt, but these are just suggestions, the more water and protein you eat the more the lbs start dropping good luck, and try to think positive, the more stressed you are the more lbs you hold onto, if you feel yucky get up and take a long slow walk, if you keep moving you will feel great
Like you, I was miserable the first few weeks after surgery. I found out I was anemic and was taking a medicine for nightmares that ended up being blood pressure medicine. My blood pressure was dangerously low. Once I started taking enough iron and got off the blood pressure med, I began feeling a lot better and was able to concentrate on my diet and walking for strength training. Get that anemia under control and get your protein and fluids in. Hopefully you will feel like a new person.
The best protein you can take in at this point is shakes. High protein. Low mass. Can't be beat.
