On my 5th day post-op and have been surprised to discover that I have absolutely no appetite or thirst. To address this issue I have set my alarm to go off every 2 1/2 hours to remind me to eat at least 2 ounces of something. I do start the mornings off with a couple ounces of 1% Milk and mix up a shake with fiber to freeze for daytime snacks. It is nice to be able to have Greek yogurt again - it's one of my favorite snacks.
Trying to take everything slow and easy. Even got on the elliptical bike tonight for 10 minutes at a low pace. Tomorrow I have my post-op class where I hope to get more ideas on how to more easily stretch 2 or 3 ounces of a meal substitute over 30 minutes. I love water and just have to get used to drinking it without ice. I also don't want to ingest a lot of empty calorie foods (Jello, broth, etc.).
