Your bowel movements are normal for post op. I am 2 weeks post op and still have the watery/sawdust like poops. My dr. Said that until I start eating more solid I would have those types of stools. And fair warning don't trust your farts until you get a better idea of the pooping pattern.

Here's another you might enjoy. It has been a favorite of ours for many years.
4 oz of cream cheese
4 eggs
1/3 C heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp italian seasoning
2 C mixed italian cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 C low carb pizza sauce (at the time Mama Mia's was the lowest I could find in stores)
Preheat oven to 375F.

Beat together cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Add cream, parmesan and spices, mix again.

Spray 9" or larger baking dish with butter Pam (or spray of your choice).

Sprinkle 2 C cheese into dish, pour egg mixture over cheese.

Bake 375 for 30 minutes.

Remove form oven let stand for 5 minutes.

Spread on sauce and 1 cup mozzeralla cheese top with any of chosen toppings (pepperoni & sausage do very well with this recipe).

Return to oven bake til bubbly and brown.

Let stand for 10-15 minutses before cutting.

Friends who have had it all say they prefer it to regular pizza.

These pizza hut commercials are taunting me. So I decided to do my own version of pizza that has Protein from meat and cheese but the ooey gooey cheese we all love!
4 slice turkey
1 slice turkey bacon
1/4 cupShredded cheese of choice
2 tbspns Marinara/ pizza sauce
Lay out turkey slices overlapping. Spread sauce add cheese and chopped turkey bacon. Pop in toaster oven for 7-10 min Maybe 2-3 meals not sure yet. But so delish!
Hope u enjoy
