My surgeon said it was ok to use my Cpap. I have the one called cplex I think. It blows at my prescribed pressure when I inhale and stops when I exhale. I had no problems and even used after surgery overnight in the hospital. Sent from my iPad using VST

My first week post op I got by with Popsicles, Water, and chicken broth. And crystal light. Hydration is number one. Sent from my iPad using VST

Box of sugar free Popsicles, sugar free Jello, bottle Water and crystal ightbpowder packs, chicken broth. As far as Protein powders it's gonna be trial and error as it comes down to individual tastes. I found I like Promasil so far the best, it's sold at GNC. Very little filler so I don't get overly bloated and only 90 calories. Mixes pretty good with just water and i find the taste ok where others had made me gag. Sent from my iPad using VST

I can understand coworkers who know you casually not saying anything. They might think its too personal or want to avoid any HR issues by asking possible inappropriate questions. Sent from my iPad using VST

Only had to wait month for solid foods. I'm almost 6 weeks out everything going well. Can eat anything as far as textures but only just like three bites at a time. That's my magic number. I take three bites and walk away for a few...and then I fell fine and don't accidentally over eat. Sent from my iPad using VST

I would not beat yourself over it. Like some others on here, I too did not have a liquid pre-op diet. Sent from my iPad using VST

@otrsleever. I don't think she meant "normal" like being able to consume large amounts of food anymore. Im thinking she means like not having pain, or getting headaches, or having nausea, etc. You probably read ino her question more than she was asking. Sent from my iPad using VST

The first two weeks were hardest for me. But one month out now, it's like might and day. Wishing you speedy recovery time. Sent from my iPad using VST

Surgeon did not have me on pre-op diet. Just npo after midnight day before surgey. I did eat very light that day. Guess not all surgeons make their patients do the pre-op diet. Sent from my iPad using VST
