Grizzly's Girl

I'm on day 15 and just today got the ,ok to start eggs, pureed bean Soups, cheese and other mushy foods, it sounds like you started to soon, diarrhea is a sign of your body rejecting it, at least that's what my doctor told me, and if you do have diarrhea after a food then wait 24hrs until you start another mushy food.
I will say this, only 2 times I put something in my mouth and chewed it and spit it out. A French Fry and Chinese fried rice. It satisfied me and didn't hurt to do it. Just don't swallow it but you know that. It does get easier I promise, slow baby steps you are still in the early stages like me. I was sleeved on the 7th. Hang in there!!

lol i hear you Grizzlys girl!! i'm 7 days post op and Soup is my main love. i never dreamed i could love SOUP so much if it was not full of cheese and crackers but i do. it's my go to comfort food now.... LOL

When I was on my 2 week Protein regimen before surgery I went into the 99 restaurant with my hubby (my favorite!).
I just got done with my preop and realized it was noon time and thought oh crap I need my 1 cup veggies or lettuce. So He needed to eat and I needed my few bites so away we went. I ordered basically a bowl of lettuce took a few bites and that was that. But MAN the popcorn smelled Glorious! LOL Way to go with self control I say! Keep up the good work!!

I was sleeved on Jan 7th, I will be happy to eat EGGS! lol However, I too heard from various of people that they cant tolerate certain foods ie: pizza and Chinese (my 2 favorite foods). I honestly went head first into this and don't plan on looking back. I just put it In my head that this is it. No more games. I am done with feeling crappy and not fitting into nice clothes. Can I do without the pizza and Chinese for that? Hell yes!! It wont be easy, I am 10 days post op and still doing fluids and Protein Shakes and let me tell ya, chicken/beef broth is my dinner and Jello never tasted so good. (those are my new Chinese and Pizza foods) for now

That's right..it is not a cure all that we did it is hard work to be successful for the rest of our lives...Hopefully it will become as easy and natural as breathing the farther out we get......and some call it the easy way out..........
There are going to be times that you are so tired and then another time so happy with what you have done...It can be scary...Like you think that you might be losing your mind...But your not..Your body is fighting for you...but we have our minds to fix and correct why we got here in the first place.............That is the war within us that is the fight we will face every day............Those who say it is a piece of cake are fibbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I eat several small meals a day...found this drink called Power Core (36 GMS of protein)...use that as one of my meals on the go.

I was sent to my room by Noon time, surgery time was 7:30, I had a hiatal hernia repair also and by 4/5:00 I was very queasy with Dry Heaves, I was given 4 different things to stop it, finally it did, It wasn't fun I will admit but it could have been worse, I just had some pain from where they repaired my hiatal hernia. I will give some advise though, I came on this site before my surgery and freaked myself out with some of the post op complications, Don't freak out, everyone has their own journey and even though there are some people on here who have had difficulty don't think that you will, you know how many people have this surgery that have had no problems (says my hubby all the time) and he was right, I am taking it day by day. Stay in tune with your body but take it step by step, I wish you luck on your surgery! I am 5 days Post op.
