Well, here I am, nearly 5 days out. I'm still super tired, nauseated, in pain, and ready to feel better. I considered it a success today when I ate low-fat cream of chicken soup, strained of all the bits (Probably the first time I've been happy that Campbell's has cheaped-out and put the equivalent of a thumbtack size chunk of chicken in the whole can. Easier to strain!) I ate 1/2 cup made with water, a Tblsp of Nonfat dry milk powder, and after it cooked I stirred in some unflavored protein powder. A hot dinner
Wondering how does anyone else deal with taking care of family? I still needed to cook dinner for my honey. He got a turkey burger, baked potato, and mixed veggies. This was the first time I've cooked for him post-op. So hard not to be able to taste anything, and still wanting to....
Anyway, I took my calcium chew today, my multivitamin, my ondansetron, my omeprazole, my oxycodone, my docusate sodium, and ate a sugar free pudding cup, the soup, and about 1/2 cup of water, and took all day to drink a protein shake.

I cannot imagine cooking for someone else before I am eating solid foods. I told my wife that she is on her own for the next two months! We have a vacuum sealer, so I'm making individual servings of things like spaghetti sauce, stew and other things that freeze well, so I'm not abandoning her completely. But this one time...right after my surgery (2 weeks and one day away)....I'm going to take care of me.

Good job getting things ready ahead of time. I'm caught between thinking I'm starving, and sipping protein shakes, and feeling revolted at the thought of some foods. Weird. Thank God I'm not still a school lunch lady. Even though it's a revolving menu of crap, it's still solid crap...lol. The temptation is real. I'm still trying to figure out how to make nothing into something!

Well, I figure I need to cook us dinner right now anyway...so I make enough that we can have one meal and then the extra I put in vacuum packs and in the freezer they go! She is grateful and appreciative that I care enough to do it in advance...I like to cook anyway, but I'm not stepping foot in the kitchen in the weeks after my surgery.
