Yeah, I’m finding it very difficult to get the water and protein intake I need every day. One day at a time, right?

That sounds brilliant. Are you already on solids? If so, did you start that plan when you were still in the liquids, purée or soft foods stage?

Yes! The gas and burping is so frustrating. While I’m at home, it’s not that big of a deal, but what do I do when I go back to work next week? I attend at least 5 meetings per day...

2-day liquids only pre-op diet. It was pretty easy.

So, I am 8 days post surgery, and I agree with so many that this is much harder than I anticipated. I’m wondering, outside of the difficulty with drink/food, what has been the hardest part for you? For me, it’s definitely been understanding my body again. Before surgery, it was easy to tell when I was hungry, when I ate something that didn’t sit well, or when I overate. Now, I can’t tell one pain from another. “Am I hungry?” “What does that cramp/gurgle mean?”... What about you?
