I had 3 days like this. Things will get better. You will find foods you like. You will have better days. I’m a year post op, and I’ve discovered veggie pastas, cauliflower crust pizza, and I now really like refried beans with cheese. Before, I wouldn’t touch refried beans.
I'm 6 days post op, and my dietician said that Wendy's chili, puréed, was a favorite among patients. I'm not sure if I'll try that. I never had their chili beforehand.
Yes! I experienced a little phlegm. I hate using the spirometer, but I force myself to at least once during the day. I know we are supposed to do more.
