Recovering from any majorsurgeryisnt easy.
Youll often need to rest, take prescribed medication and sometimes follow a certaindiet.
Failing to adhere to the doctors orders can set you back and possibly lead to serious post-op complications.
To make life easier, the woman prepped and froze her meals before going to hospital.
To her horror, her husband helped himself to all her special meals.
The woman is livid.
Shes considering leaving her husband but is worried she might be overreacting.
And could be put on a liquid diet once their body is ready.
Itll leave little or no food in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
This key in of diet includes clear liquids and a few liquids with color.
Drinks like water, certain fruit juices, black tea and coffee, and sports drinks are allowed.
Other things like Jell-O, sherbert, popsicles, honey, and clear soup are also okay.
But it depends on what your doctor has advised.
A full fluid diet is similar to a clear fluid diet.
In the case of the woman, she was on a full fluid plan for the first two weeks.
Its normally advised to keep meals small and frequent.
And to drink lots of fluids.
Youd have to introduce foods gradually during this phase.
It stops your body from taking in nutrients from food.
So even before surgery, the woman would have had to stick to a strict diet.
This includes cutting outgluten.
So things like wheat, rye and barley.
Eating gluten would cause the womans immune system to attack her small intestine.
Over time, the damage can lead tomedicalcomplications.
And in certain cases,surgerymight be required to treat the complications.
They had to remove three quarters of my stomach and part of my small intestine.
They got all of the tumors and are optimistic they wont return.
The woman explained that the food her husband stole was for the next stage of her diet.
And included things like egg salad, tender cooked chicken, vegetarian/chicken chili and soft seafood.
Definitely more tasty than the liquid diet I was on, she wrote.
So maybe thats why my husband ate them, idk.
Im still not clear on why he did what he did.
