I'm going to try lobster bisque at Red Lobster.

Canned from the grocery store. Campbell's I believe

Wendy's chili

I had 2 meatballs with marinara and shredded cheese. Yummy.

Chicken enchilada soup. My first taste of "spicy"...so far so good.

Two week follow up went well. I'm cleared to go back to work. Cleared to start purees. So send me some ideas. :-)

I'm not allowed fruit yet. But please keep the ideas coming! I have my two week follow up tomorrow so I'll ask doc as well.

Yes that's normal. Take your pain meds if its unbearable pain. But it will get better.

How regular is everyone these days? I was going every morning until yesterday. And now my stomach is queasy. Everything I eat (drink, actually) makes me slightly nauseous. I tried miralax...hope that works.

Tomorrow I'll be two weeks out, and as of yesterday I'd lost 13 pounds since surgery.

Hi everyone. Do any of you post opers take anything to help you sleep? I'm thinking of zzzquil or something. Lately I am having a hard time going to sleep.

Also I timed my pain meds so they kicked in before I got in the car.

I puréed some beef stew...wish me luck!

Try a pillow between you and the belt.

I'm definitely feeling something like hunger. My tummy growls a little even. It's more like an empty feeling. Anyone else?

Just had my first taste of real food since surgery. An ounce of cream of potato soup...I don't know if I've ever tasted anything better! :-)

I caved and ate about an ounce of cream of potato soup. It was so good!!!! Went down good...lets see if it stays down.

Still on liquids and Protein Shakes until my two-week follow up appt.

I'm only 10 days post op, down 9 pounds since surgery.

Friday hopefully if my appointment goes well.

I am so ready for food!!!!! Some days it doesn't bother me, but today is not one of those days. 6 days to go...
