Demarici-Some people have problems with not being able to get their protein in for the first week or 2. According to your surgery date you are a little beyond that. Make sure you keep yourself hydrated which is much more important right now than getting your protein in. If you can manage to drink some protein shakes it would take care of your protein and fluids. Maybe try thinning down a shake with some water. Other's on this forum said it worked for them so it's worth a try even if you can only get a few sips in every 15 or 20 minutes. Call your nutritionist in the morning for advise and please let us know what the doc says on Monday.

Hi, Doris,
Pat makes a good point. Call your nutritionist tomorrow. Don't wait until Monday to talk to someone about this. Getting in enough protein is one thing. But another four days of possible dehyration could be dangerous.
Please don't wait. Talk to somebody tomorrow.
Let us know how you fare.
