An update. Feeling tremendously better. Now only soreness and still get tired easy when active. I am getting an iron infusion tomorrow and hope by the time it kicks in I am feeling up to resuming walking my dogs (now still too tired just after 5 min of walking but I hope to do 20 min walks soon).
I am finding it surprisingly easy to get in my liquids and protein. I am getting 50-60 g protein and staying hydrated. I tried to get approved for soft foods early but was not. However, I have "cheated" and had yogurt, soft cheese, and a couple shrimp, all which went well. My hunger cues are all over the place. Sometimes I feel I am starving. Drinking some protein shake takes care of that. Other times I just really miss food. Having a couple bites of cheese helps then. I am looking forward to integrating more real food soon.
So all in all after the rough start, things are easier than expected and I am happy with my healing.
