Hi

I would give your team a call, they should have given you diet advice, in my case it was Purée food for 4 weeks, then mashed food for 4 weeks and then onto normal food after 8 weeks, fluid intake was 2 litres a day, Vitamins where to be started two weeks after surgery. And I would have thought you should also be on the Anticoagulant injections as well, especially as you had open surgery, I had to have mine for about 4 weeks and I had my bypass keyhole style.

Give your team a call as you might have fell through the system because of your extended stay in HDU.

Hi Tartanlady,
I was given diet info for the first three stages, a very brief summary:
- fluid liquid only for two weeks (fluid like water, tea, coffee, soup, no sugar squash, thin yoghurt.)
- lumpy fuids for two weeks
-pureed foods for two weeks
introduce "normal" food in week 6, if all the other stages have gone okay. Always return to the previous stage for a few days if any discomfort.

I was also not given much meds to take away. I was expecting bag-fulls, and also no daily injections.

Anyway, glad your home in our own bed. I know the feeling having had my op a few days afer you.

Good luck!

I know exactly what you mean by not feeling hungry. Did you get a discharge letter? Mine was open too and have a bag full of meds, most of them taste yuk. If you've not got anything, I'd give them a ring, I have to return to pick up the staple remover,my docs don't have them.
