Day 5 post op, what are/were you eating?

[Ellisa 6]

I can eat anything my magic bullet can pulverize. But foods that are less moist, seem to satisfy me faster. It's kind of strange, I'm not really feeling hunger ever. And neither do I feel "full," I just feel satisfied. And boy do I hope this continues forever.

I always have to have reasons for things like this... and of course there probably isn't one, but I still wonder if it's because pureed foods are hitting more taste buds and satisfying them? Or could it be that since my stomach is now where it is supposed to be following the repair of my diaphragm that it gets the satisfied feeling quicker? Or could it be that I'm really still tired and worn out from the surgery and just don't feel like eating? Or could it be everything is still swollen?

Here's another strange thing for me. I've always had a "weak stomach," morning sickness that lasted all day for 9 months. Always nausiated over any little upset. Any surgery had my head in a bucket for hours. And so I was fully expecting the worst. And I haven't had one episode of nausia. I know that I was given some medication in my IV to prevent that, but I haven't needed to take the medication I was given for home even once.

Okay, enough rambling!

I can't believe some of what you're all eating! I'm so jealous! For 16 days post-op I'm on full liquids only - skim plus milk, light 'n fit yogurt, strained creamed Soups and Protein Shakes - that's it!!! Potatoes and veggies would be heaven!
