4 Days Post Op

So I am 4 days post op(surgery date on wed 9/19) and feeling better. I still can't sleep in the bed so stuck to the couch. Still having issues wih fluids and food feeling "stuck" when trying to go down but not as bad. Just waiting to get this drain out bc I think that will help some. Hopefully I can sleep in the bed tonight:)

why r u having food at 4 days PO???

  • Author

I'm on puréed foods. I will be on puréed foods for 4 weeks. But can't tolerate a lot of it so mostly on liquids

4 days PO and your already on pureed, not liquid only?

  • Author

Yeah. Day of surgery I was only able to have swabs, day after surgery I was able to have only liquids, and 2 days after I was able to have full liquids and creamed soups.

r u sure? did your surgeon give a diet schedule? normally no food till 3-4 weeks po

Positive. Looking at my discharge info right now. It says Pureed consistency for 4 weeks with high proteins and no added sugar and avoid snacking between meals.

Wow! I am on "full liquids" for tnree Weeks. I had my surgery on sept 17th. I gabber to clear my next esophogram before I can even go to pureed. I cant believe how the post op diets very so much by surgeon.

I am thinking maybe you may want to scale back to liquids for a couple of days and then see how you start feeling!

food luck and feel better!

Spell check is terrible on these phones! I meant good luck!

I was sleeved on the 19th and I am on clear liquids till tomorrow when I can go to full liquid for about 10 days then purée food. I have been walking each day since I came home on Thursday. Taking all vitamins getting fluid in better now still not getting all the protein in( the taste is horrible and I did taste test before) just today feeling a lil weak and woozy, maybe not getting enough of something what I'm not sure.
