I'm one week out from surgery. Still feeling pretty good, just tired. I pretty much slept all day. I haven't had to take my pain meds since yesterday. Today I ate Cream of Wheat sweetened with a little Splenda, a jar of Gerber's chicken and gravy (meh...it wasn't horrible, just needed salt), and pureed ham with a little mayo. I also managed a caramel Premier Protein shake. Nothing I've eaten has triggered nausea (yay!) so I'm still good on that front. Also nothing has tasted particularly bad either. I've heard many people say their tastes for different foods have changed but mine hasn't. At least, not yet.
My only concern at this point is I still haven't had my first bowel movement. I've taken Miralax in my peppermint tea for the past few days and I'm still a no-go. I'm hoping things will get going by the end of this week. It didn't take this long when I had my gallbladder surgery a couple of years ago.
