3 day post op second guessing my decision

[pollymatin 6]

I felt the same way, second guessing my decision. I had a prescription pain med to help me. Take it one day at a time. It’s been a bit over a month and I’m just getting used to eating tiny meals. I would actually love a chicken Caesar salad! Not yet.

What kinds of food are you eating now? I'm craving mashed potatoes sooo bad

I’ve had tuna/egg salad. Salmon, chicken (gotta chew it until it’s mush). Scrambled eggs are great, I just had some tortellini. I forgot at the beginning that I could only eat 2oz. Made that mistake of eating too much. I’m running out of ideas of what I like to eat. I’ve been making fruit smoothies, they fill me up. Have a little mashed potatoes, why not.

I’m eating 2oz meals up to 5 times a day until my two week post-op. I’m also downing my Water quite well. Here’s pics of my Breakfast, my snack, & the list given to me by my doctor before I left the hospital. I’m having no problems with the exception of slight pain when moving to much. My surgery was January 18th.

when I was still in the hospital, one off the things they gave me to eat was Protein mashed potatoes with Protein Powder mixed in and non fat gravy. I relied on that for a few weeks as a go-to when I was tired and nauseous. It was quite comforting. I just made instant potatoes with Fairlife milk and a bit of protein powder, and used powdered gravy mix.

What you're feeling is probably gas pain. I had such a horrible time in the hospital when I try to lay back down I couldn't because it hurts so much more. So I got up and started walking and walking and walking. For the first few days it was so hard to get Water down.. I would talk to your doctor and see if you can take something to help you sleep... and possibly something to calm your stomach....
