Yey! Lets keep in touch!

Got the call today.. Booked for July 3!!!!

My doctor said purée is anything that has the consistency of dip. So purée chicken salad with mayo, or chicken with broth, beef with beef broth, veggies with broth, egg and mayo, cream soups blended and strained, yogurt, purée cottage cheese..

Thanks! I'm soooo scared of post op nausea lol. But I told my surgeon and he's going to give me nausea meds before and after.

My surgeon had you starting on purée right out of the hospital for 4 weeks, then soft for 2, then regular diet.

Thanks everyone! Doctor called this morning and confirmed my surgery date of July 3rd! After 6 months of excitement, I'm getting nervous because now it feels real!

Obviously I understand soreness and some pain, but anyone have a really easy recovery? I'd like some positive stories!

My surgery date is July 3rd! I've thought of starting early, but that seems like an awfully long time. Especially since we will also be on liquids 6 weeks post op (well, I will). But that's awesome if you can do it!

For my pre op diet. My surgeon's are crazy expensive. And good recomendations?

Vomiting isn't normal unless your eating too much too fast. If not those reasons, definitely call your surgeon, it may me a stricture

Thanks! I'm allowed the 4 meal replacement shakes, plus one serving if either skim milk/low fat yogurt, and unlimited clear liquids

Finally got a tentative date of July 3rd! So excited! I got all my info and my pre op 2 week diet includes 4 meal replacement shakes (NOT just protein shakes) per day. The ones that my surgeon sells are $200 for a 2 week supply! I know that pure protein and premier protein are just protein, and not meal replacement. Any suggestion?

What's a NG tube?

Omg Laura that pic is hilarious!

Probably very swollen still. A lot of people even gain coming out of the hospital
