I usually don't drink OJ because it's so surgery, but will eat oranges or the occasional piece of pineapple. Small Mandarin oranges/Clementine's are my best friend. They are perfect in size. Regular oranges I share with my kids as one slice is all I can have.

I'm an ice cold Water kind of gal. I drank it before surgery and continue to this day. Room temp water is just a bore.

I was cleared for watermelon at 3 weeks. The only rule was that it could not be stringy.

Just in the last few days have I been able to eat more than half a cup of jello/pudding in a sitting. Mixed emotions about it, but I'm learning my limits are still not always a full container. What I find more intriguing is the lack of craving. As long as I'm busy and have Water I can go the majority of the day on almost no "food". I make sure that I eat, but the fact that I can go without the head hunger right now is nice.
