I'm six weeks out and tried to eat an omelette this morning and now I'm laying on the couch asking God to take this pain away. Help!!!!

The first two weeks I was on liquids. I ate chicken broth, drunk tea, sugar free popsicles and premier protein shakes. Then the next two weeks, I ate ricotta bake and blended pretty much everything from meat to beans. If you're sensitive to cheese, I wouldn't eat much ricotta bake. I ended up being constipated for a couple days. The next 2 weeks I've eaten chili from Wendy's. Made my own chili beans with very lean ground beef meat. Like 97% lean. I also started blending my own protein shakes. I ordered unjury unflavored protein powder. Added spinach, protein powder, strawberries, blueberries and my multivitamins and flax seeds to a nutribullet and that's what I do everyday 2 times a day. Now at 7 weeks, I've started eaten chicken, very soft cooked meat. I've eaten steamed broccoli. Two nights ago, I grilled some Jamaican jerk chicken (spicy) and had no problems. The only problems I have is trying to get 64 oz of water down. I still wake up with desert dry mouth because of that. Also, the eggs. I'm just gonna stay far far away. It's not meant for me. Monday is my birthday and I received some chocolate covered strawberries and I'm not sure if I should indulge 🤔

Grilled Chicken wings. I haven't tried anything fried yet. Hope I'm still giving you hope

I haven't had any problems with anything else. I have eaten chicken. Chili beans with ground beef. I haven't tried much veggies yet just steamed broccoli and spinach in my protein shake. I usually have a protein shake and maybe two to three chicken wings. I did have cod last week and eating it kinda fast made me feel uneasy. I tried eggs for the first time today and wow..just wow..I'm pretty scared of eggs now lol.

I had spinach, cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms and peppers in it. I think I took big bites and ate it too fast. I got down less than half and the pain just became excruciating. I'll try eggs again in a couple weeks or maybe a couple months. That pain sucked!

That's exactly what happened to me! I had to walk and as I walked, I spat mucus and I felt this sharp pain in the middle of my back as well as my chest. I'm going to lay off eggs for awhile. I only ate eggs because I ran out of protein powder

So I'm two days post op, discharged from the hospital and on my way to pick up my prescriptions and some multivitamins. I'm not a big fan of horse pills or any pills. Are there alternative multivitamins like chewables I can purchase? Not on th sweet side either. Thank you. P.S. Doc told me no gummies

Just wondering if this will meet my nutritional goals? I don't want to take any pills. Has anyone met their nutritional goals taking this?

I go in for my surgery tomorrow morning! I am so nervous! Words of encouragement and support please!

Thank you everybody! I am resting in my room, sipping liquids. Stomach still feels tender of course. I've been walking around as well. I have a little discomfort and I'm really trying to pass gas. Anybody got some suggestions???

Thank you! I am resting in my room. Surgery went great. Can't lie..I was in a lot of discomforting pain at first but now I feel great. Trying to sip liquids and pass gas *tmi* lol
