@leahhopehealth: I hired my nurse to be with me for the first 24 hours post-op. After that, I was on my own. In the past I’ve had someone stay with me after every surgery, but scheduling didn’t work out this time, and honestly, I felt confident I could manage on my own after 24 hours. Since this was my least invasive surgery so far, I wasn’t too worried, but I still made sure to be prepared with easy meals and little treats! 👉🏻 Breakfast: sourdough bread with peanut butter, cottage cheese + honey, grapes, and a protein shake (shaken up in a water bottle I had just used 😂). 👉🏻 Lunch: chicken parmesan with spaghetti, a chilled, ready-to-go meal from Sprouts. 👉🏻 Dinner: chicken pesto pasta, another Sprouts ready meal. 👉🏻 Snacks & treats: fruit snacks, licorice, and 4 popsicles. Yes, 4 popsicles. They’re 45 calories each and organic, so it’s fine. Don’t you worry about me. 😉 I also stayed hydrated with plenty of water and electrolytes! 🤗 This was definitely my least “healthy” post-op day of eating compared to my other surgeries. But like I mentioned in the video, none of these foods made me feel bad, they gave me the energy and nutrients I needed to recover well! They also tasted good and made my post op life a little easier! ☺️
