@maggieflorida , I had an open surgery for PNET (February 2023)and hysterectomy, so my recovery was longer than usual. It is important to go into surgery physically fit! And also walks immediately after. My surgery was 9 hrs and I was walking 300 ft the next morning. As far as diet - I was on a liquid diet for the week in the hospital, then started soft foods ( kind of like babies 🙂 ). I don't eat raw vegetables, no tomatoes, watermelon, hard cheeses. I still eat often in small portions. No fatty food and alcohol! Include lots of protein - cottage cheese, yogurt, soft cheeses ( mozarella, cream cheese), fish ( sardines are a good source), no fried or processed foods. Contact me if I can be of help! We got this!💜🦓
