didn’t know this! i’ll reach out!

thanks to you both! what a headache

I had a feeling this would happen!

Somehow made it the entire pandemic without covid and tested positive while in recovery from surgery.

I had no idea I had it the first 2 days bc I thought i was dealing with symptoms of dehydration and struggling with hitting my Protein goals for a couple days.

Turns out it’s covid. anybody gone through the same? have any tips on getting through this when you already feel a bit tired and weak?

I’ve already called my doctor and got advised on which medicines/relief I may take that won’t interfere with my post-op medicine regime

that’s awesome! i think i’ll try that

Im only 5 days post op, but I was going over my post op chart and I'm on full liquids until week 2 then puree, for a week more before checking in with my doctor about moving on to soft food.... if you need more suggestions feel free to message me and I could even take some pictures of the booklet my doctor uses, maybe it will help good luck hun

I agree with the suggestion to go back to liquids for a few days. It’s not uncommon for people to do this - we heal in our own time. And yes certain foods like eggs can be difficult to tolerate for some.
I’d also talk to your surgeon just to be sure especially because of the pain.
Oh, and being able to feel Water go down, I get that at times & I’m three years post surgery. Only with water though & especially if it’s cool/cold. I also gurgle a lot - a very noisy digestive system.

I agree with the others. The best advice that my sister (who had her surgery three weeks before mine) gave me was to chew, chew and chew some more. Take your time and stop eating if it starts to hurt. You will learn your limits as you go. I found that black pepper was the culprit in my case and I stopped adding it to my food until 3 months after the surgery. chicken, meat and eggs were particularly difficult for me. Yogurt (low fat) was my go to food. Also try to avoid drinking Water for at least half an hour after you eat. It will be difficult at first but it will get better. Hang in there!

my nutrition classified ricotta bake and eggs as puree interestingly enough. i think i’ll do full liquids for a few more days then try some of these others you listed!

THANK YOU ALL!!

My surgery was 9/12, so 10 days before yours. My energy comes and goes. I do notice that it is getting better every day.
