How have you been doing since surgery

How have you been doing since surgery

I'm doing great physically, emotionally I am doing okay. I had a mini breakdown on here yesterday lol, but I am better today. I struggle with the protein and liquid intake, but I am going to push forward. i guess I just needed to hear everyone struggles and is blah sometime. I dont miss the junk food, I miss meat and salads. I know that I will get to eat it though in about 3 more weeks, but after yesterdays issue and everyone telling me I needed protein, I did eat a couple of spoonfuls of refried beans and felt 100% better. So now I know I have to have the protein. I prepared myself for this surgery, and knew it would be hard, I just needed to throw a little fit with people that understand and knew what I was going through..lol

And throwing a fit is just fine. I've had several since surgery in January. Do what you can and it will get better.
