5 days post op

So I'm 5 days post op and feeling ok, a bit sore around incisions a really bad wind pain but other than that I'm not bad.

I'm struggling to stick to the liquid diet and have had a few puréed/ sloppy foods, only small bits to test the waters and they seem to have gone down fine, I only have 2 small mouthfuls then I'm full but will I have done any damage? The thought of looking at another Soup or shake fills me with dread.

Anyone else had similar problems?

Do you think I'd be ok to continue?

immediately get back to the liquid and then soft phases as your doctor advised for best results and continue to follow their instructions.

and i dont mean to sound mean/nasty, but what would your doctor say if you asked him/her? i bet they'd say what i just wrote...call and ask them

hang in there
