I was feeling crappy earlier today but after a little nap I felt pretty good. Guess I just didn’t get enough sleep. The fam had pulled pork sandwiches with veggies and then homemade strawberry shortcake… I had one of my shakes, a little pork (without a bun) and veggies, and a nibble of the shortbread just to taste, and I was totally satisfied and not even tempted to eat more. I literally ate 1/2 of what I would have normally eaten if not less. Amazing. And me and the fam just went on a night time walk, over 3 miles, and I even RAN… for like, a second. But still.

Feeling good and prepared for life after surgery!!

You are on Day 4 and ate pulled pork? Did your Dr/Nutritionist give you a strict food plan? I'm on Day 21 and just now transitioning from full liquids to purée. Pulled pork wouldn't be "legal" for me until the middle of June. I was told our bodies need at least three weeks for the sutures to knit strong enough to adequately support anything more than thin liquids.

Just be very careful.

I went shopping on Day 3 or 4 and ended up staying in bed most of he next day... Overdid it, I guess. Accept that there may be good days with energy and bad days with weakness. It's all part of the healing process.
