Post-Op ….. Struggle?
Okay, I’m putting this out there to hopefully help get it off my mind. I’m really struggling at 6 days post-op, but not for any of the reasons people usually struggle?
I’m feeling great. I’m doing my exercise, hitting my fluid and protein goals easily, and I feel overall really good. I’m thankful and I know not everyone has that experience.
But…… I just want some solids. Like, it’s been consuming my brain space for the last 48 hours. I don’t want anything crazy. I’d be happy with some ground turkey or cheese or egg or literally anything except more protein shakes. But I’m also scared because things have gone so good, what if the wheels come off when I try to reincorporate actual food?
My two week checkup is still 9 days away, which feels like a lifetime.
I feel guilty because I know it could be so much worse, but y’all I’m dying over here.
