  1. can yall think of anything to drink with rum? maybe cranberry? I did try a fireball shot but literally could only do about 1/2 of it and was in 2 different sips lol

  3. Hi yall ! I was sleeved on 7-23 and am soft foods but really have little to no desire to eat. I have still not been able to get in all my Protein or liquids in for any given day. It's tough...but I am trying. Tonight I have a bit of a headache and dehydration is always in my mind. debating on getting an IV.. but I keep telling myself it's not that severe. I went back to work pt this week and am pretty tired and I do get foggy a bit. I am down 28 pounds..on the positive side and have been able to walk 20 mins a day ..on the days I have some energy.
  4. post opers.. today was my first day of soft foods.. I had 3 sep meals that consisted of total 1 piece of fish / by 3, total of 6 TBs/ by 3 of turnip greens and 2 tbs of sweet potato. does this sound like too much ? I just feel completely FULL at this point
  5. I am a almost two weeks out and today esp I felt bloated and had tummy tenderness more noticeable

    Pureed foods, really?

    last night I had refried Beans (about 5 baby spoon bites), 3 baby spoon bites of guac and a tiny piece of chicken about the size of a small fingernail and chewed it to a puree consistency. I got too full. I was uncomfortable and was scared

    The things I need to know.....

    shopping and having your needed items at home is a GREAT idea! have a heating pad at home and waiting for you have SONIC ice (little pellet ice), it's so great to have as your ice chips at home have lot's of stuff to watch on TV, DVR.. or search the web have comfy pillows for lying on your side (if you are a side sleeper) cut down caffeine I just had surgery last Thursday and came home Saturday and these are my words of wisdom so far

    Pureed foods, really?

    oh lord help me.. lol.. I tried some puree'd egg salad I made and took one bite and knew it wasn't for me. I think it's a consistency and mental thing for me. <shiver> I am on liquids/puree for 6 more days and am doing Protein drinks, popsicles, soups (broth or strained cream) and did add in Greek yogurt today. Tonight I am going to try some refried Beans (I'm so excited!!!) Then I will be so happy with soft foods next Tues!
