My Dr. already put me on soft foods yesterday. I think mostly because I am unable to keep the shakes down. I am 14 days out today. I can only manage about 3 or 4 oz and feel full for 4 to 5 hrs at least.

The pain in my right abdominal is pretty bad. I left the hospital last night. Technically this is just day two out of surgery. Walking and standing hurt the most. Were you guys in as much pain a few days ago? My surgery was on Thursday.

Just my first day after surgery. I am on clear liquids until at least Wednesday. I have only had Apple Juice so far. 4 ounces every couple of hours. I feel quite full afterwards.

Went through the surgery yesterday. I was in minimal pain yesterday. Today the soreness got worse. No nausea since right afterwards in recovery, but I have a good tolerance for Anestesia. 14 surgeries on grafts In my arms in a little over a year will do that. Just had my first oz of water. Good luck to everyone!! Keep us updated. I know reading about what everyone was going through made me feel less alone.

My surgery is scheduled for June 4. My clear liquid diet was okay until I suddenly could not drink the Protein powder shakes and they now make me vomit. So I am living on SF popsicles, SF Jello and low sodium chicken broth. Have these protein powders made anyone else sick?
