I had my surgery on July 09/2014. I have done very well with pain and mibilization. I was up walking after two hours (with help from iv meds of course). And discharged next day. I have not had any issues like vomiting or sever pain. But i find my self very bored with Protien Shakes and Broth. I have also used the sugar free water mixers and sugar free popcilces. But im just so down because i feel pretty good so my mind thinks I can eat. So I struggle and struggle hard. any suggestions?

I am 10 days out. Just the last two days I feel like Im starving. Im not sure if its the flat taste of everything or if its my head. I do stick to the liquds and the diet but its so hard. Remember your mind is just so confused. It still thinks you have the abilities to eat all we want. It will get better! Im looking forward to it getting better...

PLease excuse my spelling and grammer errors!

I had my surgery July 09, 2014 I have done pretty good so far. I did heavily use my happy button while in the hospital. My surgeon tols me the sooner and moore ytou walk the quicker your pain and recovery will be. I used the advantage of the IV pain meds to start walking with in 2 hours of surgery. But when I got home it was so much harder. I did stop taking my home pain medications only because i was scared of addiction. I have had alot of pain since. But if I walk even if its up to the mailbox I start to feel better. Try walking just short walks.
