Krlawson you were able to eat eggs already! Wow! I have only been able to get a Protein Drink mixed with Water down. I have no hunger at all. Drinking juice, tea and water. Dr said I could try some creamed Soups, strained. Thinking about having some tonight just to get some nutrition in me . I am still sore and pretty tired. Hoping 3 rd day post op is less gas pain!

The breathing apparatus mentioned is an incentive spirometer and using it helps to keep your lungs clear after surgery so you don't develop pneumonia. Walking aids in preventing blood clots and is very important (also helps with the gas).

Eggs???!!! Really???!! My days 2-14 is 3 Protein Shakes and yogurt, Jello and pop sickles. I can't have soft foods until days 14-21. I don't think I can stomach the protein shakes right now. So I'm eating Unjury hi protein chicken Soup. I'm not having any gas pains.

Online. It has a good flavor. I could only eat about 6 spoons full. I think that packet will last me all day

I ate some Soup because I'm trying to get my Protein in. My doctor stressed the importance of protein.

That's good' ! Yes Protein is important. I'm still trying to get mine in. Getting shakes today. I only like a certain kind. I'm not a fan of Isopure

Do any of y'all have to inhale in that airlife thing?? It's supposed to prevent blood clots.

They were gonna make me until they saw I was up and walking and clearly fine (by their assessment anyhow).

Can't wait till I'm allowed a shower tomorrow. Iodine streaks all over my belly And adhesive from heart monitor Patches.

Also - as much as I asked my surgeon did not see the need for liquid painkillers are home. He gave me oxycodone pills. I got a pill crusher and the power in Isopure is disgusting but I just swallowed a pill split into quarters and it went down fine.

Happy to be in my own bed!!

Ice pack? I have mine on almost all the time. It is helping a lot.
