I am three days post-op and I am doing well. My bodily functions are in order! And I finally got rid of that pre-migrainy headache I had. I'm getting in my water and protein. I'm drinking three 25 oz water bottles each day and three 27 g protein shakes. I've had some popcicles and a pudding. Keeping it under 800 calories.

Sometimes I think life would be easier if I could just stay in liquid diet mode. I don't have to think about food and can just get on with my life. I want my food plan to be simple so that I am just eating to live and not living to eat.

Just updating with my status. THanks for all of the support!!

Yeah, I'm feeling kinda lucky cuz I know that getting water and such down is often a struggle right after surgery. but I have been lucky and able to drink pretty normally. I had to take small sips the first couple of days, but now I can drink a little more normally. Thank goodness for the little things!

Congrats! I sure hope I can have a recovery like yours! I am so hoping to be able to drink normally pretty quickly. I am a big water drinker already, and I just worry I won't be able to drink enough! Keep it up!
