I had my surgery done on Monday March 19th and was just wondering if anyone had any tips or advice to give about the beginning and what it was like for them. Thanks

I started protein on day 2 of post op...Mixing it in my broth. I can drink the cold stuff, but the warm stuff feels better on my tummy.

I must not have very much swelling because I'm hungry! and my stomach is grawling so hard and much that it actually hurts. Its going to be a long 2 weeks of liquids

me 2 ! i have little swelling and my stomach is grawling im hungry

I've just been sticking to water protein shakes, soup pudding or jello. The chicken broth was easier to get down first but now I'm eating vegetable based soups which are good. Also my protein shakes are nectar which are clear and not as thick as others since you're just mixing with water. I'm going to try to go out and buy unflavored protein powder to put in my pudding and soup bc I've been slacking on getting enough protein. Oh and when I get bored with the water they said I could have crystal light or diluted fruit juice with the water. Today i'm going to try some no sugar added apple sauce and a blended black bean soup the nutritionist suggested. Hope that helped good luck!

Thank you so much for all the info, it has really helped me!
