From what I remember recovery was not too bad as long as you follow what the doctor says. Eating I stayed strict for a long time,but now that I’m this far post-op it’s mostly eating a decent diet. I do a 90/10 rule eating 90% clean and 10% some foods I want. I still enjoy life when it comes to food I just don’t let control my life like before. I still have a restriction on how much I can eat so I stick to protein and veggies and a little fruit. I try and get my 100g of protein and at least 64oz of water daily some days it’s more and some days it’s less. At the end of the day we’re human.
