Hi. I had surgery yesterday and I am doing great do far. I guess my expectations were that it was going to be horrible. No post op nausea which I hate worse than pain. Loving my green jello.

I am not looking forward to taking pills.

How is everyone doing that had surgery already this month? Im so anxious for April 10 and 2 week liquid diet is not so hard anymore thank goodness I had the biggest headache and my doc said i could have coffee with splenda and almond milk why wasnt that on my list!!! LOL the coffee has made things much better and my bone broth. I bought unflavored protein its absolutely discusting but the one recommended by doc so im sticking to my muscle milk for now.

Also I take a flinstone chewable thats my recommended vitamin.

i tried the bone broth tonight & thought it was terrible,went bk to chkn bouillon broth.im glad u cam tolerate it,know its good for u.

I made it myself taste really good thank goodness. My doc said not to buy it made because it discusting lol (Took me 6 hours to make boiling the bones with a splash of vingar.) Then I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, oregano I added celery, carrots and onions thats my base to all soups. then i just separated it into mason jars (strained) and drink that much for dinner. I made 6 Mason jars and ate that night so good enough for the week.

Day 3 post-op. First night was rough was very nauseous and in pain. Day 2 was just as bad but tolerable was released from the hospital. Day 3 is much better. Still nauseous but not as bad. My husband has been a champ took care of me the whole time never left my side. I know it can only get better from here.

i made homeade beef & chkn broth ahead of time & froze in ice cube trays but that didnt taste good to me either.i never thought i would like bouillon broth better than homeade.that boxed bone broth is so nasty,trying to spread the word because im stuck w all that from costco.also those lemon flavored swabs for ur dry mouth after surgery were terrible,dont waste ur money.

im so glad ur feeling better on day 3 pauline11

Brooke, are you finding that your taste buds are a bit off? I am. Things just don't taste good. I'm on day two post op now. So far the recovery has been amazing. No nausea and minimal pain. Now that I am home I hope it keeps up.

A few days left to go, this liquid diet definitely has its ups and downs. First few days were pretty rough, then I fell into a groove, but I do notice some days are good and some are bad. I had to go outside last night because my family was eating pizza, that was pretty rough. But excited and nervous, and ready to begin this next chapter. I have not cheated once, I am feeling strong mentally for this challenge and this lifestyle change.
