I'm really working on it. On track for about 47g protein today--without drinking any of the protein shakes(although I did use protein powder to ramp up some instant SF pudding yesterday, and it's terribly sweet, but I can handle it for now.).
Still struggling with liquids... Seems like I can only do well at one or the other any day. Good liquids? Bad protein, and vice versa. Mostly because I feel full even the hour after eating when drinking is supposed to resume. It's really hard!!
Just going to do my best and get IV fluids when I need to until everything levels out.

Great news! You will be feeling back to yourself in no time!
My surgeon's office sells this water enhancer called Proti-15. it's fruit flavored and provides 15 g protein in 16 oz water. It's spendy, as expensive as protein shakes, but it has helped me out a lot, as sometimes shakes are just too much for me.
How are they taste-wise? And are you super sensitive to flavors after surgery?
I will make an effort to sleuth some out if they're worth it!
