I hear ya! Salads are now my favourite food. I also can tolerate (and enjoy) spicy foods; never could have before!

My wife and I had surgeries together last spring. We shared a hospital room. It would have been 10x more difficult doing this alone.

I had a lot of stomach acid immediately after surgery and found that once I regulated that, "huger" subsided. Stomach acid has leveled out in the weeks/months following surgery so was only a short-term occurance. Now that I'm > 4 months out, I find that I'm getting more snacky then before. I'll feel guilty about having an extra handful of almonds or a piece of cheese... and then suddenly remember how I USED to eat, and feel much better about it!

I recently had popcorn for the first time since surgery. Was delicious and I tolerated it just fine at the time. BUT.... I sure felt it the next day. Hungover almost - with a headache and dehydrated feeling. Too much salt, maybe? Certainly weird, and will make me think twice before having it again.

I had similar experiences when I started eating solids after surgery - it improved over time. Four months out and no more gurgling!

Congrats! You'll feel more and more "normal" as time goes on - sounds like you're doing great already.

Yikes! No... no blood shot eyes, but I also haven't thrown up.

I agree with @Introversion... skip the juice... pure sugar!
