DHMAD

I am one week post op today, and it was the first day of any real difficulty. Gas and acid pain disappeared within two days, incision pain has been almost non existent. Here is the issue that arose: my brain was scrambled today. This might be important for a teacher. I called my Dr. 'S office and was reassured that this was a logical outcome of 21 days on 0 calorie Clear liquids. My brain was starving. Truthfully, I had expected that to happen much earlier than it did. So once encouraged that I could begin to consume calories, I was slowly able to untangle myself today. One god send: my husband, knowing how I detest artificial sweeteners and was bored with the limited range of remaining drink possibilities, made me a chicken and a beef broth, by chopping all kinds of veggies and throwing in pot with the bones. He cooked the Soup in the oven, strained it, and I had a highly nutritious broth to drink on demand. Incredibly easy. So take the job and be sure to nourish your brain.
