I would definately eat very little. Tiny portions and make sure to chew it up very well. You will be lucky if you can get two bites of chicken down. I was warned to stay away from starches also as it would hinder weight loss. Replace with cauliflower and mash that up...it is almost like potatoes..especially if you put butter & cheese with it.
This is very normal. The worse pain is right where the belly button is and above. Your stomach muscles will really ache. I thought it would never go away and 2 weeks later it did. I constantly did ice packs and heating pads to speed up the recovery. It got rid of all the bruising and soften the muscles so you could get up & down.
Still feeling pain... Pain meds giving me headaches so I'm stopping that. I rather deal with post op pain than a headache
