  1. I am 10 days out and only did clear liquids the day before surgery and the day after surgery. But here is the list my nutritionist gave me: sugar free- jello, popsicles, flat ginger ale, crystal lite, broth (chicken, beef, vegatable), water, pretty much any liquid you can see through. I advanced to full liquids and thin pureed stuff the second day after surgery and am supposed to stay there for 3 weeks. I do miss chewing. I licked a chip yesterday.
  2. I completely understand. I just had my surgery Thursday and up until I got into the operating room and got the first drugs, I was scared. I was afraid that I was being selfish and taking money away from my family. I was afraid I would die and leave my children with no mom. I was afraid that I would have some horrible complication and be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life and a burden on everyone. I have a morbid imagination obviously! I was feeling awful the first afternoon after surgery but survived amazingly. Second day was a little better (lots of nausea) and it has gotten better every day this week. Tomorrow will be one week and besides being bored with my liquid diet, I am doing well. I jump off and on the scale daily and am seeing numbers I haven't seen in a few years. I'm not thrilled with facing the holidays and not being able to eat what I could before but I am going to have a killer outfit and I will be able to play with the kids like I haven't in years. So i hope this is a good story to counter all those icky stories you have been reading and know that someone else is a worrier too but so far so good!

    2 Week Liquid Diet

    I just had my surgery on Thursday of last week. I had been on liquids for 2.5 weeks before surgery. I got really tired of sweet liquids so stared to mix soups in the blender and add a couple spoonfuls of plain greek yogurt for extra protein. That really helped to make it tolerable.
  4. I had my surgery the day after yours and found out the next day pain is better than throwing up. I quit the pain meds and just took phenergan for nausea. Today, 4 days out, I am feeling pretty good, more discomfort than pain. Hope it is going better with you.
