4 DAYS POST--????

Hi everyone I am on the other side now LOL. I had surgery on wednesday and was home by friday. Thank god everything went fine. I have about a million questions for all you post ops. I'll start with did any one get a little weepy 2-3 days after surgery? I have no regrets and don't feel hungry but just thinking about my kids eating without me for a few weeks? might sound silly? i know. When did you start focusing on protien? right now i'm just concentraing on getting my liquids in. i was told 2 weeks on full liguids and obout a month on soft them maybe about 3 months out could start on regular foods slowly, was this how it happened for you?? if anyone has post op advice for me i'll greatly apprechiate it . so glad to have this web-site to go to Paula [email protected]

Hiya Paula... I got very weepy.. for a long time after surgery, everything made me cry and I was very hyper sensitive to everything. I didn't start to worry about protien till about 4 weeks post op. It was when I could finally have soft foods. My post op diet was pretty strict. I was two weeks on clears, two weeks on fulls, two weeks on mashed, then two weeks on softs. No bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes till at least 6 months. But now I don't even want to eat that stuff, most of it just hurts.
