Yes i agree, i think i have been too cavalier with trying to go back to a normal solid food diet within days of the blockage clearing.
I need to be patient, see what my surgeon says next week too.
I’m just finding it hard to get enough calories on a liquid / soft diet
Thanks

I totally understand what you mean. Our bodies require tender loving care and patience. I am glad you are going to see your surgeon next week.

Regarding the calorie situation, I would rely in juices and smoothies to get my calories in and just to stay healthy, that way while you are healing- you are also getting calories. Also put salt in your water so your sodium does not drop.

You will also have more bowel movements at this time too.
