5 Days Postop And I Want Some Food! :(



Recommended Posts

The first few days I had absolutely no desire to eat but starting yesterday I am hungry! Liquids for 15 more days?! :( This is hard! Our patients whine and moan about the one day of liquids to prepare for colonoscopy and I've always felt sorry for them but wow! Is anyone else struggling?

Can you do Protein shakes? Like the ones in the blender as they have a little more substance to them.

I had to do 21 days also - you can do it!!

If it'll go through a strainer I can have it. I did make a shake in blender yesterday and it was great tasting, strained it but felt pressure after a couple of sips so I threw it out. This is harder than I thought it would be. Just shows I was too addicted to foods I like. I really think a couple of bites would satisfy me but just not physically possible. My Surgeon told me preop about a patient who had a staple pop after eating a TBS of yogurt during that post-op period! Scary!! Had to have 2 more surgeries!!
