4 days post op

[valjane 0]

Hi, Kelli,

I too am 4 days post-op and had my surgery on Monday. I am also still uncomfortable, and feeling "full" when I drink too much. But i am on liquids for 2 weeks also, and then on a pureed diet for 2 weeks after that. Maybe your tummy is not ready for cottaqe cheese and mashed potatoes yet. Maybe you could slow down a little on the soft foods and just stick to Protein Drinks and liquids for a few hours if you feel bloated. I have one incision that is pulling and pinching, near to where my port is, so this must be kinda normal. Hang in there!

Hi Kelli,

Congrats to you. I'm still pre-op, I'll be starting my 2 week liquid diet on 10/4 (surgery date set for 10/18). I'm surprise to see that they have you on "food" so soon after surgery. I guess every doctor is different. As for me, I was told I would be on liquids 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery. Then I would move on to pureed stuff (aka phase 3). I don't have any words of wisdom, as you're farther than me on this journey. But, I do wish you well. Maybe day 4 is just a real doozy for ya. Chin up buttercup, we're rootin' for ya!
