I'm 6 days post op and trying to go back to work. I have tried the past two days to get through a day at work with no success. I start well but my energy just wastes away in a few hours. Also my congnitive ability feels like its at a snails pace. I work in a job where I need to be on my game as much as possible. I feel fine from the surgery and think his has to be from the lack of potien and food in general.
I had creme of chicken Soup today for the first time with success, feel like I can go with more complex foods. Should I try an egg, egg salad, any thing else? I will start shakes tomorrow as well. Has anyone else experienced just feeling dumber / slower? Please tell me this goes away....
