Eating

So I just finished my first post op Breakfast. 1 oz Cream of wheat, which i didn’t finish and 1 oz SF pudding. Yummy, i adore the teeny spoons they gave me to eat with.
I’m really sore in the abdomen and it’s hurts a lot to stand but overall it’s good. Hope to be released to go home this afternoon.

They brought you 2 oz of food on your first day out? LOL that's amusing.
My first day with puree/mushies they brought me like 6 oz of cream of wheat, 8 oz of coffee, 8 oz of juice and a Protein Shake. I was like, this is a bit much don't you think?

I use baby spoons at home too, really helps with pacing and Portion Control.

Post op is so much better at home, my hospital bed was awful! I hope they let you go soon and you are on your way to a full recovery very soon. Take things slow and stick to your plan! You'll do just fine!

I’m jealous, I want some mushy foods! I’m two days post op & can only have liquid diet for 3 weeks.

lunch was 1oz chicken Soup, 1oz sf pudding and some kind of gelatinous apple flavored Protein Drink 1 oz. Luckily it all tastes ok, Im able to get it all in and drink my Water ok,

Just got home from the hospital, had a hard time getting my pain meds filled, had to drive all over town to find a pharmacy that carried didlauden.

Now I have to figure out how to eat on my own. Im not hungry but I know I need to eat, I am exhausted, didnt get much sleep in the hospital, now the adventure begins.

They brought me a popsicle and a red Powerade right after surgery. I threw it up right after. It looked like blood and freaked me out. I still can't have red sports drinks. The day after, they gave me veggie broth. Vomit. Walk around and move as much you can. They pump your tummy full of CO2 so they can get in there. Walking and moving is the ONLY thing that will make you feel better! Even if you don't feel like it, take a little walk.
