5 Days Post Op
Hi,
Well here I am, emotional, sore, gassy, all the normal stuff. evening of surgery was able to drink 2oz broth and 2oz jell-o, took me a couple of hours. Second day drank 1 1/2 protein shakes and got in about 40oz water. Third day 1st bowel movement which continued on the whole day and night. Fourth day couldn't get a protien shake down until 3pm tried to drink more at around 8pm but wasn't happening. Water has been ok. All the protein shakes, jell-o smell and taste terrible. I've tried soy, lactaid free, mixing with water and I gag. The only thing that sounds good is a scrambled egg. Has any one tried an egg this soon after surgery?

I had a scrambled egg at 7 days post op. Unfortunatly the food tasting bad has been a problem for me. I am a little over three weeks post op (sleeve) and some things still do not taste good. I have found that the walmart brand of crystal light tastes pretty good. Especially the grape. Crushed ice was good at that stage too. Sorry things seem kinda bad right now, but it does get better.
I loved Peached Iced Tea Crysral Light early out. You can play with how strong you want it, I found stronger to be more filling.

I wouldn't mess with the egg just yet... eggs are iffy early on and you know advancing your diet too soon and if something gets stuck... you don't want to have to make that call to the Dr that you jumped the gun ;)
How about some Miso broth or Wonton Soup (strained), I will say I remember if I started the day with something warm in the AM the day worked out better for me. I did decaf tea those first few weeks then eased into the shakes, etc.

Nothing tasted good to me post op either. The flavor of everything gagged me. I had what I called "swamp mouth". I couldn't stand the tast of my own mouth. I kept mouth wash handy, and used Binaca..thanks God that passed after about 1 month. I also switched to Premier Protien shakes from Sams Club. Good Luck!
