I called my surgeon's office and they told me to go to my primary dr... I'm going at noon I'll let you know what he says...

Yes! Thats what its like on my cheek!

I think thats what its from but I'm going to call the doctor in a little bit I have an appointment on Thursday...

So, I have a rash on my neck cheek stomach and thigh. .. Going to call the doctor today. last night I read the bottle of carafate (the anti ulcer liquid I've been taking) and it does list A rash as possible side effect... Has this ever happened to anyone? valerie

How far out before you tried plain shrimp...just curious..

Thats FANTASTIC! keep doing what your doing girl!

I ended up eating the cajun tilapia...very flakey. .. and a few bites of mashed potatoes. All went well! My husband will b happy to have my leftovers. I must have eaten only a quarter of a cup...

Ok, so i will be with a playgroup for my son and we will b going to applebees...im easting soft foods; tuna fish, chili, oatmeal,.... any suggestions on what to order? I wonder if therea a soup i can have...help!

I will b 2 weeks this Thursday and ready for soft....awesome!

Yyaaayyyy... looking forward to it.. this pureed stage is the pits!! What did u eat during thw pureed stage... ?

Just wondering when did u start eating chili? Im on pureed stuff and im wondering if its ok for the soft stage.....

So, had my surgery on Thursday, April 25th and I'm waiting to be discharged from the hospital. I can't believe I did it... I was so sick and upset the morning of surgery I even threw up from my nerves... I've been sipping water and warm broth...it seems i can't tolerate very cold fluids right now, only warm goes down well... but wow, what a weird feeling that first sip was! And the gurgling! Im glad to finally be on the losers bench!
