5 days post-op...is it ok to drink sweet tea? What can I have?
I had LAVH/BSO on the 22nd and so far so good. Had a little trouble with constipation but things are on the move now. My sister had her hyst a few months ago and she was telling me I couldn't drink sweet tea. Excuse me but I love my sweet tea! I am drinking ALOT of water and I love my water too. but I am ready for some sweet tea. I know this sounds kind of weird but I just wanted to know.
Is there anything I REALLY should stay away from?? my doctor never warned me of anything....

Hi Daisy_liz!
I see no reason why you shouldn't drink your sweet tea. I drank my coffee and heaven knows that wasn't the best for constipation! Unless your doctor gave you specific instructions on what to eat, I would say eat according to what agrees with your tummy. Some ladies need to start on a fairly bland diet because of the residual medication from the hospital and nausea from pain meds. For myself, I was back to my hearty appetite before I even left the hospital. Remember, although you are related, your body isn't the same as your sister's.

I drank sweet tea while I was still in the hospital, it was the morning after surgery. I didn't have any food restrictions either. It did take me several weeks to get back to my normal eating habits but once I did it was great.
Take care

I think you deserve to have a few treats. Your body has been through alot ,and maybe you even need to have a little extra sweet tea! Personally, I drink a vanilla soy Chi tea latte every day!

I only avoided tea for a bit because I was afraid of the caffiene. But I think it effects me maybe more than most. I was having some insomnia and I didn't want to add caffiene to the mix. Once I was sleeping better, I definitely had some sweet tea!

Thank you my Sisters!! I will have me a nice glass of sweet tea!! You all are the best! I really don't know what I would do with out you all. I ask my DH questions and sometimes he just doesn't know what to say! Most times we end up just standing there laughing! It's great to have my hystersisters!!
