Recovering from any major surgery isn’t easy. Depending on what operation you’ve had, it can take anywhere from a few days to several months, or even a year to feel like yourself again. You’ll often need to rest, take prescribed medication and sometimes follow a certain diet. Failing to adhere to the doctor’s orders can set you back and possibly lead to serious post-op complications.
One woman who underwent surgery on her stomach and intestines, was given strict instructions on what she could and couldn’t eat during recovery. 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. She’s considering leaving her husband but is worried she might be overreacting.
