I'm 12 days post op and I'm having a hard time getting my protein in. I'm so over the shake any other ideas? Would it be gross if I put some protein powder in my yogurt or pudding?

I'm a week and a half out from my surgery and had a complication no one told me about. I just got out of the hospital yesterday with internal bleeding. If someone told me that was a risk I'm not sure I would've gotten the surgery. Just want you guys to know and make an informed decision if, like me, no one told you about that.

Thanks! Ended up back in the hospital last night. They think it's leftover from the surgery.

Ok gross question. Has anyone had bloody stools within the week after surgery?

Thank you!!! Part of me is so happy I took this step and part of me thinks what did you get into. Purely based on pain. Not food at all. I guess I'm a wuss. I'll feel better about it when I can walk up right and get myself in and out of bed. Thanks everyone for the support. Glad I'm not alone.

Just had my surgery Monday. Any thoughts on non-narcotic pain management, liquid diet ideas or when I'll have some energy?
