This was my first night. I have pain and nausea that comes and goes. I'm hoping today is a little easier. I'm hoping to go home tonight.

Surgery went smoothly and I am home now. Haven't had any nausea and limited pain, more aching than pain. Sneezed three times today and that was a challenge!!!

My shakes taste terrible ......just do not want food but forcing myself to get the 60 g Protein in and all the liquid.

Wow, I am already struggling with what to eat. My diet calls for strained blenderized Soups, Protein shakes, sugar free pudding or apple sauce, smoothies, greek yogurt. Everything is sweet! Tried strained cream of chicken Soup tonite but couldn't eat much of it.

Any suggestions for foods that have worked for you so far that aren't sweet. Everything just seems to be sweet.

And sweet isn't getting it . . .isn't that amazing?

I had my surgery December 22. Laying in hospital bed now, hope to be discharged today. So far so good. First night very uncomfortable but has gotten better. Hard to sip and get enough liquids in. But working on it while in the hospital. Good luck everyone!

I had my surgery the 22nd as well. I came home yesterday. Not really in much pain, just hard to get all the fluids I need. Any advice?
