I hear ya mate! I'm at day 13 post surgery! 1 more day til next stage and trust me it's hard... Got to the point where I would prefer not to eat at all than another shake... So swapped it up for some liquid yoghurts, V8 juices, soups, chewed gum and up & go's! Made the world of difference... Hang in there u will be at day 14 before you know it!
