I am so glad to hear you are doing well. I had a drain as well and I was really upset because I didn't eat after 1PM the day before to try and avoid it. However, the drain was in my abdomen and not in my old tummy. Dr. C just said he felt it was the safest thing to do so I went with it. I was pretty "juicy" as he said. I wish he had left it in longer though, because I ended up having to have my incision opened up and have it packed for a while, due to extra fluid pushing through.
But it's ok I am glad it is over now.
The other folks gave great advice on liquid foods for you. Kelly may actually call you today and tell you to go on to soft foods
as she usually calls on Monday's.. either way you won't feel much like even eating a little bit of food for a while, if you are anything like me. Just do what you can and don't worry.. you can't get too much liquids.. take it easy and remember to walk!!
