Today I am 1 week post-op. I am getting around well, sipping water all day, and trying to get in as much protein as I can given diet restrictions and taste issues.
Went for post-op checkup on Wednesday (5 days post-op) and was down 14 pounds from surgery, 20 from highest weight. That was surprising.
My providers' plan is full liquids through 14 days post-op, then pureed foods through 6 weeks post-op. I have 1 protein drink that I like (isopure) and am eating greek yogurt. I need to find a protein powder that I can tolerate.
Only issue to note: liquid BM's. Any way to help this in the time until I can move to pureed food? I did start taking Ca-citrate yesterday so hoping that might help firm things up.
