  1. I'm a week out of surgery. I'm in minimal pain and I had turkey for lunch. I'm in Tampa getting ready for my cruise to Belize. I planned everything perfectly. We are all winners!! We can do whatever we put our minds to. I took my nursing exam 3 days after my surgery and passed my boards. While on pain meds. We are stronger than what we think!
  2. I'm not hungry yet. I'm having pain on the middle of my back and left arm. But other than that I'm good. I've been sipping water an now I'm having a Popsicle.
  3. I didn't get a drain. I'm glad your home. I've been moving around and taking deep breaths. I still have no appetite.
  4. According to the diet plan they gave me I should do clears for 2 days, then full Liq for 3-7 days then purée diet, then soft.

  6. they came in, went over a checklist, started my IV, wheeled me into my or room put me to sleep and when i woke up it was all done. I woke in a little pain. they got me up and walking around about 20 mins after waking up. I had to take another swallow test then I was ready to go. I got myself dressed and waited on my ride. I was sleepy the rest of the day, im sleepy now. I am having some left sided upper back pain, and my incision is painful. I have only had pain meds and water so far. I am not hungry at all.
  7. You can. They take your blood, you do a swallow scan, and you talk to your anesthesiologist
  8. Are you taking the chewable vitamins
  9. I went home late afternoon yesterday, in pain, not to much bloating. All I have had to drink is water and my pain medicine. I havent felt hungry at all. Im having some left sided upper back discomfort, but besides that Im not feeling so bad. My mom and sisters stayed with me till I feel asleep. Im still sleepy now. Thats all I want to do is rest.

  18. Hi, I just started 3/27 and I must say it was very hard. I had one day to enjoy food until my liquid diet. I have had the jitters, and hunger pains. I am managing to stay full, but I'm going to the bathroom every 30-45 minutes. I'm drinking the knorr soup stock. It is very flavorful along with flavored water. The first 3 days are the hardest. Hang in there were gonna make it!!!!
