Day 5 -post-op - Am I eating too much for the liquid phase 1
I had my sugery Fri April 8th and was home Mon April 11th. The first 2 days out I could only get in about 300 liquid calories. Today, I probably had 5-600 calories, and I feel guilty like I ate too much. I am supposed to be on liquids, but I found myself starting to nibble on soft foods already such as cottage cheese and mashed potatoes. I haven't gotten sick yet, and I am worried I may be rushing too fast. I am not sure exactly how many calories is normal for the first 10 days. Any thoughts?
I am now 9 days post op and am on full liquids..not sure which phase but I am off the clear liquid diet. I too am hungry. I want steak so bad! But that is impossible. So I have some soup. some vitamins..finding it harder now that there is no one to wait on me hand and foot. Next week cottage cheese..Glad to hear you are ok but I would stay on the liquid diet...we really have to heal that pouch. just realized it rhymes with OUCH. LOL
