Day 4 and doing better

I had surgery on Oct 25th, so today is day 4. Yesterday I tried to do some protien and it made me sick, so only stuck with water. Today I made some pudding and took it real slow, even set a timmer and had 15cc every 15min and it is going down better. So that is 24g protien for today, and it is 1pm ao I am going to try something else. I am getting in a lot of liquids, the water tastes great, I need it to get the awful taste out of my mouth, no matter how much I brush my teeth, the taste is horrible! Just wanted to let you know how it is going, talk to you guys soon, Ann

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING GREAT SINCE BEING HOME ANN!!! CONGRATS TO YOU!!!! I GO SEE MY NUT AND SURGEON TOMORROW MORNING AND I AM HOPING TO HEAR I CAN START ON SOME REAL FOOD AGAIN!!! I AM SO SICK OF DRINKING ITS NOT FUNNY!!!! ALSO WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH I HAVE LOST SINCE SURGERY!!!!! I AM EXCITED TO FIND THAT OUT!!!!! HUGS JUDY

I know what you mean about the taste Ann, I was in church this morning thinking GAWL I wonder how bad my breath smells with how bad it tastes. It tastes like I've been sucking on someones dirty socks. I'm going to post a question asking if anyone knows if it's OK to chew EXTRA (sugarless) gum. I don't know if chewing gum would mess up my tummy. Glad to know you're taking it slow. Hope you start feeling GREAT! JoAnne

JoAnne I chew Extra gum and my surgeon said it is fine as long as I don't swallow it. Elizabeth
