That’s awesome!! I’ve been trying to get in pho broth, since it’s made usually from bone broth, but taste better, and adding a dash of sriracha for added flavor.

I hope so! I feel like a zombie over the most menial tasks. I feel like I’m barely doing anything, and not tired in the moment, but my tank is completely wiped. I have been making sure to have my protein drink, plus 2 oz of yogurt for breakfast, but I’m not noticing any increase in energy.

Struggling to slow down
am struggling with knowing when to slow down. I am 7 days post op, and I am really struggling with not being where I was activity wise before surgery. When I am walking around, though I might be slow, I am not feeling myself get worn out until I finally sit down, and then I fall asleep so hard, that it is difficult to wake me. My surgeon is super insistent that I should be back to my regular daily activities, and that I should not be taking frequent rests, but I find that I am just overdoing it. I have 4 kids, oldest is 11 and youngest is almost 3, but I am so drained I don’t know how I am going to manage going back to work 14 days post-op:

S e x ??????♀️?
My discharge paperwork says you can resume sec at 1 week post op. It sounds like my surgeon’s recommendations are not the norm.

Other than clean clothes, shoes and identification, I brought headphone to help me relax while I was in pre-op. I was told to not bring anything else. Costco’s sipping chicken broth was pretty good. I added a little sriracha and salt and it was good, but I only had to be on a liquid diet for 24 hours.

4 weeks post op
I am 4 days post op and I am having such a hard time wrapping my head around the modified liquid diet. I am very much a salty taste profile, but I am not finding much that can satiate that. What are some of your go to modified liquid foods. My nutritionist has not gotten back to me yet.
