Food
I am just over 2 weeks post op. I have followed my doctors instructions to eating. What I am finding is that certain smells really bother me. I can't stand the smell of gum, some foods cooking and beef gerky actually made me sick. I am trying to get in protein as much as I can, but most of it just turns my stomach. I can't gag down cottage cheese or any lunch meat. I tried several protein drinks prior to surgery and did fine, no more...can't stomach them. Will keep trying others that you have all suggested.
Did anyone else experience this with smells? I am really struggling getting in enough good foods. At this point I can do potoatoes, beans, cheese, soups, yougurt, fish and jello. I am trying to get in fluids too, but this has decreased with more intake of food. I am thinking of eggs and cheese, but scared as eggs were never my friend before surgery, so the longer I wait the better.
