I totally get it. When preparing for my surgery, I started practicing the 30/30 rule (as my program calls it, avoiding liquids 30 mins before and after, as well as during meals) and there were times that I just couldn't do it. Those were foods I just learned to avoid. Another option is adding a little something like gravy or mayo, or some other kind of thick sauce, just watch the carbs and fat. But yeah, taking liquids with meals is a no go.

I have not experienced any nausea either. Thanks God!!

Thanks. I am finding the need to track my Protein intake now that I am transitioning to soft foods and not so easy to just add up the Premiere Proteins for the day through my drinking app.

I will! How many calories are you taking in per day? I feel like I was high today at around 700 (I've met my protein goals), but still hungry. Blerg.

Yes. I found that on week 2 post op - I could handle about 30 mins of walking, and then fatigue would set in. My legs would start to feel like Jello and I would need to sit and recover a while before I felt like I got my energy back. Over the last week since then my energy has gotten better and I can do more, but not trying to push myself.
As I look down - the incision to the right of my belly button is the one that has kept some pain. When I bend over, or try to sleep on that side - it has bothered me. Even reaching sometimes I would get a pain. There was also a hardness under the incision. Just yesterday it was still there, and while putting up xmas decorations, I leaned over to pick up something and felt a sharp pain there again, and again when I stood up. Late last night it was just the normal dull pain if I touched it. Today I got up and not a bit of pain there and the hardness is almost completely gone, just around the scar/scab (whatever you want to call the healing incision). I hope this is the start of the final mend.
My surgeon checked me last week and said it wasn't a hernia or anything else bad, it was just the healing of those muscles in my abdomen.
3 days ago marks 3 week post op for me. I had pain almost daily in that spot - not enough to put me back on pain meds as I didn't want anything to do with more Constipation.

I’m a little concerned everyone I spoke to and all the research I did explained to me that I won’t be hungry for a while but I woke up 4 days after surgery and I’m really hungry. Could this pose a problem?

Hi! I am 9 days out and have no trouble drinking or eating the mush! Lol! I think there are many who can’t get even Water in, though. Do you feel hungry, though? I have, slightly and for short times, felt a little hungry. I am worried about it as well but am willing to do what it takes to get healthy. We’ve come this far! Best wishes!!!

Yep and all went well? A lot of gas pain in my chest today though.

You are not alone. I cheated on Thanksgiving. Like everyone else is saying just get back on track. It didn't throw my surgery off had surgery yesterday.

Good morning guys. My surgery was yesterday, everything went well. Not in much pain, just pain in both shoulders, i believe it may be gas pain.

That's so weird - is it from the anaesthetic. I'll have to research it to prepare myself.
