Once home from surgery, what should I have at home?

Thank you Cathy. I wonder why tastes sometimes change after surgery? I'll have to ask about that.

I was told that the taste change is a reaction to anesthesia in some people. I had it happen to me again after my hysterectomy, so yay me, I'm one of the lucky few I guess LOL

Nearby Chinese and or Thai restaurant menus lol ! I lived ( still live to b honest) on wonton- less wonton soup and Tom Ka Gai which is basically just homemade chicken soup with some Thai spices and coconut milk.

I also always keep European mushroom soup mix around - making a fat free sauce using fat free half n half really helps dry meats go and stay down . Also essential veggies . (((()))

Water, broth, electrolytes and a good blender.

And a loving pet !

My lil Persian kitty Minime literally walked w m every fifteen minutes forever it seemed like ..... he was my absolute loving hero .... and then he laid w m and purred in th bed n easy chair ....lil darling.

Thank you for posting this. I am scheduled for surgery soon and hearing from others is very helpful.

I know I'm a little late responding, but when I was resting I was hot and cold. I would keep a fan near you, I did even with having central air I just couldn't get comfortable. I hogged all the pillows so I could sleep propped up. I also had everything in reach for when I got out of the hospital, like water, pots and pans, etc so I wouldn't have to bend or stoop down. I'd re-wash what I used to avoid doing many dishes.

It?s really not that hard ! I went back 2 work about 2 weeks after .... and my ( longtime aquaintance

) totally considered M a heroin addict because my arms were scarred from th IV S -/beware!

All I could eat at that time were protein shakes available in every grocery store

.I still attended all my city council and county planning meetings.... because I had 2 . Didn?t kill M ... yes I was totally tired.... really wasted but they didn?t notice TG
