Way to go. Good surgery day. Let us know how it goes.

I am now at 5-6 weeks post op. I have bought little two pronged forks & very small (jam pot) sized spoons at the dollar store. I am making myself put down the utensil or item of food between each bite. I will download the app mentioned above. I am not hungry much but when I am late for a meal, it is really hard to make myself eat slowly enough.

I didn't clue into the no carbonated beverage until after the surgery. I would say I have done everything I have been told from the written instructions. Except I did try diet pop (my favourite bad habit). I have had no problem at all. I know. this doesn't mean It's for everyone. If I had started having symptoms ,burps or gas, I think I would have stayed away. But I am delighted by be able to indulge.

Applesauce and there are some mixed with carrots and peaches.
I didn't stay over night so my perspective of what to bring differs from the participant above

I discussed it first with my husband. My two teens know - just for simplicity sake. The only other person who knows is my boss. She directly asked me and I trust her. I missed Thanksgiving to avoid the issues of food quantity.

I hope I can learn to chew enough & to eat slowly enough soon. The smaller portions is easy but the slowly and carefully part is hard. I will try harder to prevent the stuck feeling.

Planning food for lunch at work is going to be a lot harder without Peanut Butter sandwiches as a staple. I hear you about the bread - what about peanut butter? It is sort of doughy

I appreciate the warning. I am almost one month post op. So when you got stuck, did it make you feel like couldn't breathe or backed up your throat or what? Thanks.
