Welcome back and I am so happy for you that your surgery has gone well and you are on the mend.  As my operation is still on the distant horizon, I can't help you with the food parts yet but keep looking for answers.  There is an extensive post of Protien shake recipes at the bottom of the forum page from Michelle.  some sound sooooo good.  Keep up the good spirits and heal quickly

Cheers!

Glad to see your home safe and sound.
No place like home, get some rest.
Take care

Welcome back.  I still dont ever feel hungery.  It is an easy trap to fall into now to eat so protien shakes are very important in the beggining.  Also it is very hard to get the protien in when your food choices are limited.

Take it easy, and dont overextend yourself.  That is what I did and ended up on 3 weeks of bedrest for healing. 

Good luck

 Welcome home Sky. glad your back home and healing. take good care of yourself, and get lots of rest

So glad you are home and resting. I used to add greek yogurt to my cream soups for extra protein. When can you have cream soups? Just keep doing your best girl, it's a work in progress !

Since I missed the last meeting I am very much looking forward to see everyone again. I have a feeling that this summer is going to ROCK for MANY of us. It's sooo awesome to see other finally getting their surgery too.

I really relied on the Premier Protein rtd protein drinks from Costco when I first started out. I liked that I could open up the fridge and grab one rather than having to prepare something.

thankyou everyone yesterday i went to walk and pick up my daughter from school and over did it to much to soon felt not so good after yesterday did try mushroom soup but blended really well in blender so no mushroom pieces and liked that .And yesterday had first bowel movement but still feel very bloated does anybody else feel that way?

I am glad things went well and you are back home!
You are so early out, the most important thing to focus on is fluids. Just keep sipping as much as you can. If you are getting in creamed soups now, great! I mixed some beneprotein in with mine, but didn't like the texture much. I also mixed beneprotein in with my yogurt and found that I liked it that way. (Beneprotein is a protein supplement that you can get from Tache pharmacy or order from your own pharmacy. It is tasteless, so can be added to other foods. It clumps up a bit like cottage cheese when it is warmed up, so I prefered it in cold foods.)

In a month, you will start having more energy and start feeling like yourself again. Until then, take care of yourself & get lots of rest!
