I had my surgery June 25th with Dr. Ing at Bryn Mawr hospital! I can't say enough about their team and program!! They are wonderful!

I'll be starting regular food in Tuesday! I just had some guacamole for the first time!!! YUM! Does anyone else eat this on the soft phase?

Ate it twice today!! It agreed with me and was sooooo yummy!!!!

Haha I Love it!!!!!!

At first it kinda of felt stuck, but then I made sure I chewed 30 times and that was much better!! I just don't want to purée it! I just puréed some fresh cooked carrots, but tuna? I just can't do it! Haha

I just made tuna with light miracle whip and relish! YUM I'm on soft foods so I didn't purée the tuna, just smashed it up really well! Has anyone else did this on the soft stage?

I'm in the soft/puréed stage so I guess that means I don't have to purée stuff all the time? I have not been getting nearly enough calories in so I had some soft scrambled eggs with cheese! OMG it was heaven and went down easy! I think things are starting to look up now that I got my reflux meds switched! I will be 3 weeks out on tues. maybe I'm just healing as well!

Well I just got back from my post op appt. he said I look great and I'm doing great! He changed my reflux meds and told me that it will go away and it's temporary!! Thank God!!!

I'll say it again! This forum has helped me so much! I don't know how I would get through without it! No matter what you are going through, someone else has been there and can help! It's just so awesome!

Thanks so much! I'm so blessed to have you guys and this forum!! It gives me hope and makes me feel better!

I'm 10 days out and still have a area in my stomach that hurts! It has gotten much better and I am finally able to get up and down and wipe myself! Haha just hang in there! I made the mistake of thinking because it was laparoscopic it would be easy! Remember we did have most of our stomach removed!!!!!

I was sleeved on the 25th and I'm going back tomorrow! I'm nervous, but I'm sure I'll be ok once I get there! I do nails and have an 11 hour day scheduled, but we will see if I stay the while time! I hope I can! I'm still very very sore, especially in the left side and don't feel too well sometimes, but I'm really trying to get my Protein and fluids in!

Well I guess the new term for me would be pescatarian! I don't eat any land animals! Funny that they have a name for that now! Usually when I say I'm a vegetarian people say "do you eat chicken"? Haha

They have been great on the full liquid phase! I'm a vegetarian so I had veggie and bean curd Soup and today I had seafood soup! The seafood Soups is wonderful! It's a clear broth, but full of veggies and seafood! I think I'm going to purée the seafood and put it back in since I can handle cream soups just fine! Great Protein I'm sure!! Oh it even has egg whites!

I am a week and a day post op! I was really hoping to be up and at em by now, but I still have such pain in the main surgery area that I still can't even wipe myself(sorry TMI) if I get up and move around it does ease up and I think I'm on the mend, but it never seems to get any better! I'm supposed to go back to work on Friday(my choice, I am a nail tech) but I don't think I'm going to be able to do it! Did anyone else have this searing pain and any tips in how to get rid if it?
Thanks so much!

I'm going to do just that tomorrow!!!! I can't sleep, it's hard to get up and down! Ridiculous! Oh and did you notice that there is much more food commercials in them usual these days? Haha

I was so excited about this surgery! I had it on Wednesday and I've been in pain and miserable since!! I'm totally doubting my decision now!! Is this normal? I am getting my fluids down really well! I'm wondering, could I be going through a food mourning of some type? Being that it was such a huge comfort in my life and now I can't eat anything and will never be able to pig out again!!! It will be a good thing I know, but has anyone else had this feeling of regret right after??!!

I'm going to do just that tomorrow!!!! I can't sleep, it's hard to get up and down! Ridiculous! Oh and did you notice that there is much more food commercials in them usual these days? Haha

Thanks so much everyone! That makes me feel Better that I'm not alone! It so makes me realize what a hold food has or had on me!

We are here for you!!!

Thank you so much for your support! This forum has been a true blessing to me!!
