3 day post op second guessing my decision



Recommended Posts

I felt the same way, second guessing my decision. I had a prescription pain med to help me. Take it one day at a time. It’s been a bit over a month and I’m just getting used to eating tiny meals. I would actually love a chicken Caesar salad! Not yet.

I’ve had tuna/egg salad. Salmon, chicken (gotta chew it until it’s mush). Scrambled eggs are great, I just had some tortellini. I forgot at the beginning that I could only eat 2oz. Made that mistake of eating too much. I’m running out of ideas of what I like to eat. I’ve been making fruit smoothies, they fill me up. Have a little mashed potatoes, why not.

I’m eating 2oz meals up to 5 times a day until my two week post-op. I’m also downing my Water quite well. Here’s pics of my Breakfast, my snack, & the list given to me by my doctor before I left the hospital. I’m having no problems with the exception of slight pain when moving to much. My surgery was January 18th.

when I was still in the hospital, one off the things they gave me to eat was Protein mashed potatoes with Protein Powder mixed in and non fat gravy. I relied on that for a few weeks as a go-to when I was tired and nauseous. It was quite comforting. I just made instant potatoes with Fairlife milk and a bit of protein powder, and used powdered gravy mix.

What you're feeling is probably gas pain. I had such a horrible time in the hospital when I try to lay back down I couldn't because it hurts so much more. So I got up and started walking and walking and walking. For the first few days it was so hard to get Water down.. I would talk to your doctor and see if you can take something to help you sleep... and possibly something to calm your stomach....

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
