By 'just had surgery', do you mean two days ago? Two weeks ago? Were you sent home with any written instructions? Do you have someone at your home who can help you?

Welcome @ciebenton, to help answer your question and to connect you with others, I moved your post to this existing discussion:

I agree with @gigi4 that you should contact your surgeon's office for recommendations on diet and a referral to a dietitian.

How long ago was your surgery? May I ask the reason for the surgery?
