To post-ops from a new post op

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I'm five days out from surgery, wanting to see answers here from post-ops who

have been out longer:

Please describe in detail your diet for the first few weeks following surgery.

My littermates and I would be so grateful to you.

Thank you!

Dear Blair,

I am 3 weeks tomorrow. My first week I mostly drank

Gatorade, water, v8, tomato juice, grape juice, and I always made a protien

shake. I also had chicken broth, beef broth, and one of my all time favorites

Tomato soup with crackers. I also had popsicles, my favorite being Dole or

Edy's strawberry fruit bars Yummmm. Then the second week I kind of had the

same, but, I tried alot of cream soups, like, pea soup, bean soup, clam

chowder. flavored crackers, such as, chicken in a bisquit, bacon, chees its,

all mushy most of the time in soup. Then this week I have tried all the same,

plus, I tried just a little seafood salad (it sat well). Runny oatmeal,

mashed bananas, cheese spread on some crackers, I tried some cottage cheese,

and hmmmmm not so sure it agrees with me?? But I am still mostly a soup and

cracker and juice kinda girl LOL. I guess, I feel like I get alot more?? More

Bites I mean? If I eat solids or anything like that it is only a bite or two

and I am full, and I don't like that. Especially since I am having a hard

time eating and drinking SLOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! It is definately a learning

process!! Anyways I hope you are feeling great!! Hope to meet you soon! Take

care! xoxoxo Margie SC 7/26 :~)
