1 Week Post-Op And I Want To Eat!

[Optimist01 3]

Hi everyone,

I'm 1 week post-op. I drink Water, Protein Shakes (not much), Jello, popcicles, but I really want to eat something -- I know it has to be soft -- but I want anything other than more water and Protein shakes. I'm depressed I think. food was a great tool for fighting depression - at least for the short term. I know today was tough because I could smell all the great food being cooked and eaten. Didn't spend it with anyone, just sat alone wondering when I could eat something... baked chicken, Pasta with meat sauce, chicken salad, something!

Can anyone tell me how long it took them before they ate something?

Thanks....

I am one week out and am allowed to have yogurt, pudding and shakes. That's my "food". Starting next Wednesday I am allowed to move to purees-- eggs, tuna, pureed meat, etc. Check with your surgeon as everyone is on different plans.

It's hard especially when your hungry. Just try to hang in there! I'm only in my third week it gets better

I totally understand, food all over the house today. I froze my thanksgiving meal, it will take me about 2 days to eat until once I can eat solid foods.
