Bnm4... I'm in the same boat. Never been in a hospital.. the miso soup is great. Plus it's only about $1 per bowl so it will take us awhile to finish.. another bonus! Low food bills!!

Pain with cough.. I asked Dr and he said it's stomach muscle is sore. I was afraid of tearing stiches.. he said no.

I just made instant miso soup. Package in boiling water type. After I stirred in I put all of it into my nutribullet and emolsyphied it to all liquid. I've been sipping for over an hour. Good flavor. It feel medicinal like it helping heal me.. just a thought

Can we do miso soup? Liquid only of course.

The only pain I have is the incision areas.. standing up and sitting when their is pressure placed on those areas..

Surgery is a funny thing. I'm 3 days post op and had never been in a hospital. Thought I was gonna die.. apparently they had to use a lot of gas to inflate my chest cavaty and that was miserable getting rid of. I felt feverish and my blood pressure skyrocketed after sygery.. I got home yesterday and everything has calmed down. I'm getting the protein shake and water every 15min and am doing laundry and canning tomatoes today.. just taking it slow.. it does get better.. I actually thought I had muscular legs until yesterday.. since I'm loosing fluids and weight I have bird legs..lol I'm down 31 pounds since the start of my liquid pre-op diet two and half weeks ago. We're home free!!!

7:30 for me too

Good luck lacey..
