2-3 weeks post op
I"m 5 weeks out today. At 2 weeks I was starting to feel somewhat normal, but still couldn't eat much. Now 3 weeks later I am able to tolerate much more. My energy level is back to normal. Yesterday was the first time I have had any food problem, it just seemed that everthing I ate just didn't go down very well. I ended up drinking protein shakes just to get in enough protein. I try to get most of my protein through food and supplement with shakes as needed. How are you doing? It gets easier. Good luck!
Hey there Connie. How are you doing? I hope that things are getting somewhat easier for you by now! There is a lot of adjustment, both physical and emotional and it takes a while, but it sure is worth it. Feel free to email me--I'd love to hear from you.
I just got back from vacation. Had a great time, doing more active things than I have done in years. Lots of walking, climbing, and hiking. I wish you the same success!
