Post Op Questions

[heather200202 73]

Hi everyone!!! I'm a few days post op (11/26 was the day of surgery) and just have a couple of random questions.

1. Is it common to get hot and cold often. I'm not running a temp but I just get hot. Usually at night I get really cold and by morning I'm all sweaty.

2. I was released from the hospital yesterday (11/28) and was doing really well. Today they told me to start my Vitamins and continue on a

puréed diet and do my Protein Shakes and none of it has agreed with me. Will i be ok without all this for a couple more days?? I have been drinking Water and that has stayed down and hasn't made me sick.

Also if anyone could help me with some good puréed receipts that would be awesome. Just looking at food doesn't make me want to eat anything.

my life savor was cream of chicken Soup. but at my one week post op they put me on pureed/soft phase so mashed potatoes and really

fried Beans helped. it is normal to be hot and cold. you do uahw to get your Protein in as it helps qwith healing

I had mine on the 19th and yes hot and cold are normal parts of the healing process. I was on Clear liquids for week after. I would stick to them for most of your diet. I am just now on liquids only. Puréed is next week. SF Popsicles were my life savor and broth. I know it sucks but may help.

Hey! Welcome to the post op community !! I was on Clear Liquids for one week after and then started total liquids for an extra week, so I just started puréed food on the 3 week. Also my doctor didn't told me to start my Protein Shake and Vitamins until I was 1 and a half months post op and I had no problems what so ever, but I'm NOT a doctor so maybe you have other needs different to mine. My advice would be to just give him a call and explain your tummy is not agreeing with the Protein and vitamins, and ask if you can start in a couple of days or if you can start with less and increment it little by little. Good luck !!
