Episode 256: What I Ate During Mastectomy Recovery
Episode Description If there was one part of surgery recovery I was probably overprepared for, it was the food. As a dietitian, I had a pretty good idea of what my body would need after surgery. Actually living through recovery, though, reminded me that knowing what to do and having the energy or appetite to do it are two very different things. In this episode of Healthier & Happier with Jess Cording, I’m sharing what eating looked like for me during my mastectomy recovery, how my appetite and routine changed, and what helped make nourishing myself feel more manageable while my body was healing. I also talk about some of the pressure we can put on ourselves to eat “perfectly,” especially when we’re trying to support our health, and why recovery calls for a much more practical approach. Key Points ➡ What eating was actually like during my mastectomy recovery ➡ How surgery affected my appetite, energy, and usual routine ➡ The nutrition priorities I kept in mind while healing ➡ Making food easier when cooking and meal prep felt like too much ➡ Letting go of the pressure to eat perfectly ➡ Adjusting meals to what my body could realistically handle ➡ Accepting help and allowing convenience to be part of recovery ➡ What this experience reminded me about nutrition during a demanding season If you’re preparing for surgery, recovering yourself, or supporting someone who is, I hope this episode gives you a realistic look at what eating during recovery can actually feel like and helps take some of the pressure off. 🎙️ Listen to Episode 256: What I Ate During Mastectomy Recovery on Healthier & Happier with Jess Cording.
