2 weeks

Homemade chicken soup...withoutbthe chicken, sine I can't have it yet. Put the soup in the blender to puree it I had 8oz. How much soup do you guys usually consume? My guide says 4-8oz

Did anyone get their period after surgery while still in the hospital?? What a pain in the ass!

I'm going back too!

I stayed 5 days (only b/c I had 2 surgerys) but stay an extra night if insurance pays for it and if you feel comfortable. It was nice having the reassurance and help from nurses, but when you get home, it's a little more different because you're more on your own. Hang in there; feel better

I get paranoid. Real paranoid that I'm having TOO much Protein being only 11 days post-op. I am able to get in 65 grams of protein daily through the use of two 8oz Protein shakes, which literally take me the entire day and night to consume. I usually end up with close to or a little under 400 cals a day. My family is not reassuring and keeps saying "are you having too much?" I take the two 8oz protein shakes and split them into Two 4 oz servings per sitting. I guess my biggest fear is getting in this much protein this early out and possibly stretching my brand new pouch with the liquid. It really boggles my mind. I just hope I'm not overdoing it. I get really REALLY full, but keep sipping b/c I know how important protein is =\

It's all individualized, so it's too hard to tell. I took 2 weeks. The standard is 2 weeks to return especially if you have a low-key desk job

Oh yay!! I might try it if you tolerate it well! Yum

Thank you!

Wouldnt it be unhealthy b/c of all the sodium? How does beef sit with your stomach that early out? I am 11 days postop but cant imagine eating something that heavy just yet!

Ok good!!

8oz takes HOURS

You look amazing!!!!

You're incredibly strong. I know how scary it is when complications happen. Hang in there.

Monday! I had two weeks off. I'm a social worker, so not much movement, but high stress. Just a bit concerned I'll forget to take care of myself first while caring for my clients.

I'm going back too

Thanks! It takes forever to get it in though and it kinda sucks really bad...lol. I'm already sick of Protein drinks. I almost gag

I'm not even 2 weeks out yet and I'm hungry lol

Thanks guys! I did try a new shampoo...it's the one on tv called Wen. Probably was that! Haha. Thanks we will see

So I woke up this morning with a TERRIBLE blotchy red rash all over my face. I had nothing different at all. I'm 11 days post-op. anyone experience this??

Good luck to those getting surgery soon!!
