Post op day 2

Post op Day 7

last night I had the gas pains up in my collar bone area, mostly felt upon inhalation while laying down. It was sharp and annoying.

today I am in a mood about having this.
I. AM. CUSSING. HUNGRY.

not “head hunger”, eye roll, real legit, stomaching eating itself hungry. I want to eat anything and everything and annoyed that I can’t!

many times throughout the day I have thought “WTF did i do?” I chose this. I paid for this out of pocket.
I’m hoping this feeling is normal at this point and temporary.

i did normal household things today, without any trouble. I’m still guarding my belly button incision and careful not to lift anything over 10 pounds.

I felt tired a lot and spacey. But also totally normal at times.

I drank my Water, about 48 oz no problem.

no Protein Shakes or waters bc I just can’t.

I am changing my Vitamin because it’s so gross, so just to have SOMETHING I took a few of Flinstones Vitamins.
apparently I can’t take capsules for 30 days, which there went my plan For the barislims.

anyways. I just want to eat. Totally second guessing why I did this. I just feel stupid.

I was told 3 days of clear and then full liquids. It’s really all over the board with the different plans. I couldn’t tell you any evidence based reason why one over the other though.

Thank you! How long will you be on full liquids before going to puree?

Also, I licked a cool ranch Dorito today and it was divine.

If you like those, when you can have chips try the Quest Protein ranch chips. Not the same of course, but I love cool rancH Doritos and the quest chips are a good substitute.

I'll be sure to try these! Can you have these during the soft food phase?

Sorry no. They’re a chip & crunchy so too hard & coarse. Soft food still has to be very moist. Think like a stew or bolognese meat sauce, flaky fish, etc. so you’re still not having to really chew a lot.

Hello! I'm just curious. I had surgery this past Friday and was told I had to do Clear Liquids for 2 weeks. It seems as if some people don't have the same requirement. How soon were you told that you could start full liquids?

I’m Clear Liquids for a week, then full liquids for the next week.
