Thanks so much everyone, am home recuperating, amazed at how little I can take in. Had a couple of days feeling very sick, however I have found I can tolerate milk very well and low fat custard! I cannot get a protein shake down me, one sip and it just comes back up, I think it's too thick? Anyone else have problems getting in fluids and protein 3 days after surgery? Xxx. Thanks so much for all your well wishes and welcomes, feels great to have somewhere to visit where people know about what you are going through! Besos! Xxxx
