Post-OP Mixed Emotions

I'm 9 days post op & I feel like I'm losing my mind. After surgery my taste buds changed & now I can barely stand the shakes. Broth is difficult to take in because it upsets my stomach. At least I can drink water just fine!! I'm supposed to drink three shakes a day & I'm struggling to get through two a day. I was so ready & confident for this surgery. I knew my life was going to change for the better & I've been preparing for it for months!

But today I woke up second guessing myself... I feel like maybe I got in over my head. I dont feel good & I'm always tired. Luckily I don't have food cravings any more since surgery, but I can't help feeling like I'm so over drinking only liquids lol. I feel like I'm losing hope in myself today. Maybe it's just because Im having an off day... I really hope that I feel back to my normal motivated self tomorrow!! Has anyone else felt like this?
