I had my post-op appointment with Doc on Tuesday. It went well. Everything looks good. I was hoping he would let me go back to work on Wednesday, but no dice. He said that they would prefer that I had a few days of eating solid foods in me before going back to work. So I start back on Monday. He also said I could start eating solid foods on Day 15 post-op.
Today was Day 15. Hooray for solid food! Not all solid foods mind you - I have a list of approved soft foods. I'm so thrilled to be off the all-protein-drink diet that I don't mind that I have limited options for the next 3-6 weeks. So what did I eat? For breakfast I had 3oz of non-fat Greek yogurt. I mixed a mashed banana and some sugar-free Torani Vanilla syrup into it. The vanilla really gave it an extra kick. I had a little bit of cottage cheese for a snack. For lunch I had 2oz of tuna with a tsp of chipotle dressing and a half a container of sugar-free vanilla pudding. Dinner was a half of a black bean burger with ketchup and mustard (no bun) and 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Finally, for a snack I had a slice of American cheese and a slice of deli chicken. With some subtle variations, this will be my diet for the next 3-6 weeks.
