  10. well the burning in my sternum is still there, but I think its better. My surgeon too said some people just have more swelling than others. He made me feel lots better because I was feeling like a wuss. I was sleeping on my side the night I had surgery.
  11. Mine is clear liquids 24 hours after, then full liquids for 2 weeks. (It has been 4 days) On the full liquid diet I can have soggy cereal, thinned oatmeal, and some baby food. Then 2 weeks of soft food.
