What to pack for hospital?
I brought tons of stuff. Never used anything but my phone. They really have everything you need.

Eats!
Liquid for 3 weeks. Pureed from week 3-8. Soft food from week 8 to 3 months. 3 months onward is good choices!

I have a weird craving for Raisin Bran cereal! So weird. I've never really eaten it before, maybe a couple times but raisins sound really good right now and I am not about to puree them!

Feel like something is stuck
I was told we can't even try to take any pills til after 3 months. It's probably that.

couldnt eat
I had surgery 4/29 too. I am nauseated 24/7 and force stuff down my throat all day. Also had 2 complications so it might be from that but hang in there.

I chew them so much that there is nothing left of them.

Post op!
I am told not to advance to another phase diet until seen or told by your surgeon. I was on liquids for 3 weeks after surgery, I think its way too soon for pureed.

Walmart sugar free popsicles in the bag are the BEST. Life savors! I FINALLY ate a scrambled egg!! 22 days post op and finally chewed a scrambled egg with a little low fat shredded cheese.. WAS THE BEST. Kinda nervous that I didn't feel full. Took my time, about 20 minutes to eat it. But then again, I dont have any feelings, never hungry or full on anything.

I've lost 54 pounds since I've been doing this, but lost 31 since surgery. Clostridium difficile. I've been on one round of meds for it, this is my 2nd round. If it doesn't go away, I have to go see the specialist. Also had another surgery 4 days after my rny to take my appendix out. It's been hell.

Seen my surgeon today for 3 week post check up. Might have to go to an infectious disease doctor. So regret having this all done.

How long to book date
I was approved, given a pre op apt and given a date then. Approval to date was about 2 weeks. Every office is different. No comparisons.
