My Dr said to take stool softener every day (up to two at a time two times a day) and on occasion take Milk of Magnesia if you can't go. So far the combo is working.

I went back to work last Friday. Long days trying to catch up unfortunately.

I was always cold prior to the surgery but now I'm really cold. My favorite item is our electric throw blankets now.

I just found a couple recipes on Pinterest with high Protein and made them and then put them in the Vitamix to purée them. One was roasted cauliflower and white cheddar and the other was curried lentil. They both turned out good and the nutritionist told me to sprinkle in a little unflavored Protein powder each time I had some. So far, so good. So happy to be able to start puréed foods today! I bought tiny little bowls and spoons at this restaurant shop to help me eat slowly and make it seem like more food.

Wow, it seems as though everyone is doing pretty good. We've made it a week folks, nice job!
I was letting my kids cook dinner this weekend and helped. They both wanted me to try what they had made so I took a bite and tasted it then spit it out so I didn't eat it. Good thing they understood that I couldn't eat it and didn't start crying or something!
Today I was feeling pretty good so I went to the store and bought some stuff to make Soups. I can't wait for the purée stage so I made two healthy purée Soups tonight. I had to lick the spoon to make sure it was ok but didn't eat any.
I seem to feel hungry at night. During the day today I didn't really feel hungry at all which was really weird. I had to make myself drink my Protein drink, which never happens! I hope that continues.

One thing that helped me with swallowing Water is just breathing out fully just before swallowing it. Might help!

It is so weird that we are getting different advice on Protein or not. I am feeling pretty good today. I think I feel stronger after having a little protein from time to time. I walked to the park with my kids today and as of 9am I even stopped taking any Tylenol which was my pain killer (although I may take some tonight to sleep better). I wouldn't say I'm starving or really even hungry but I am craving some solid foods for sure. I made some homemade broth today and by habit put a little slice of jalapeño for flavor before taking it out. Don't do that. It burned all the way down and I am going to have to create a new broth tomorrow. Yikes!

I'm a little late to the party but I also had surgery on the 23rd. My surgery was at 2:30 pm so I was out of the hospital 6pm on Wednesday. It would have been earlier but the pain meds had me so nauseous that I could barely move. I had to switch to Tylenol before I left and have been on that since leaving but the he pulls are too big to swallow so I have cut into pieces or crush.
So far my pain is gas pain, the incision sites aren't bad at all although it feels like something is pulling on my stomach inside.
I am drinking Protein drinks and Popsicles and occasionally broth. So far it's all working well. Water doesn't taste so good right now. I can't wait to eat real food. A deviled egg sounds like the best thing on earth right now!
