I am day 8 since my surgery and I want food. Not steak or anything (but that would be tasty) but eggs, mashed potatoes, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, soft foods. I am a Water drinker and like you all it's getting hard. I have been using the Premier Protein shakes and even those are getting hard to drink. I am hungry lately and i really think it's all in my head because physically I don't feel hungry. At my 1 week appointment I did find out that I was very dehydrated and need to be careful or I will have to get admitted for IV fluids. I pushed it yesterday and drank too much and it ended up coming back out. That was not a fun feeling. I just can't wait to get over these first stages.

I am in the same boat Maddy. I'm day 9 and I'm SOOOOO sick of liquids. Would kill for some scrambled eggs.< /p>

I well remember wanting to chew something. Try sugar free popsicles. They help a little. Otherwise, just know this time will pass. A small blip in the larger journey.

It sucks.... But you will get through it!! I will say that first bite of scrambled egg or cottage cheese is like heaven!!!
