I can't believe the difference. I am now 9 days post op and have had an easy time of it with little pain.
I just forget to eat! I suffered hunger in hospital for the first day smelling the food but since at home I have to make a special effort to eat (well drink at this stage)
I'm not sure if this will last, I'm hoping some long-termers will tell me it will, but I am enjoying not being ruled by food.
I'm twitching to start exercising but have been told to wait 4-6 weeks to heal, so going out for walks.
The liquid diet is getting boring as I have another week of it but at the moment I'm losing 1lb a day so will be sticking to it rather than move onto purée stage early. I'm looking forward to chewing 'proper' food and have a list of all the food I want to have in my first few weeks - I'm thinking beef stew, fish pie and prawns.
