Feeling icky today. Had surgery on Thursday. When do you start to feel good?

I had surgery on Weds 3/27 and stopped taking the pain meds on Sun 3/31. Each day after that I was feeling a little bit better. Now a little over a week out and I'm starting to feel like myself again. The first week is the hardest but you'll start feeling better soon, hang in there! : >)

Every day it will get better. The first two weeks were rough. I was on liquids and felt yucky. After 14 days, I saw surgeon, stitches out diet upgrades to soft food so I felt much better. By a month out I felt awesome. Just remember you had MAJOR surgery so it is common to be tired, sore and all that other stuff. Just follow your surgeons orders and you will do fine

My surgery was Wednesday and my Doctor told me to start on soft foods. They even gave me soft foods yesterday in the hospital. I'm not eating them because I am a little scared. I really am trying to concentrate on liquids. I am going to have a hard time getting the liquids in. What are you all eating?

It will all come together. I am a little over 10 weeks out and eating regular foods. I get all my liquids in and then some. I still don't have much of an appetite so eating is sporadic and I still use Protein drinks to make sure I get all my protein in. Initially, I couldn't imagine how in the heck it was all gonna work because I could hardly drink-but it will...

My nut sent me home with stuff to eat like grits and refried beans and yogurt...so I don't know. There are so many different ideas of what to do. She also never mentioned protein supplements.

I hope you're feeling better
