3 weeks post-op
Jul 16, 2011
I've made it through just about 3 weeks. Things I've learned.....take it slow when you're allowed to go back to solids. I tried brown rice......it was BAD! Not sure if it expanded or got stuck, but it came back up and I hurt for 2 days following that. I've noticed that richer foods don't sit as well. I'm a self confessed picky eater and vegetarian. As such, it's hard to get the protein that I need. I drink alot of protein shakes, eat a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese. I can't tell you how happy I was to start eating fruits and veggies! I tried to eat almonds.....another bad idea. My husband threatened to put me back on liquids to keep me from rushing things.....or as he put it "to save you from yourself". I do find that I get tired a little quicker.
