ljscarr got a reaction from Chrystee in 5 days post op can't do all liquid diet. Anyone else do okay on soft foods?
My surgeon did a good job of scaring me. Repeatedly telling me stories of people who ate solid food to soon and got something stuck or caused a leak...meaning surgery and a hospital stay that could last 3 months. Like someone else said, just because you didn't get sick from it at the time doesn't mean it won't cause problems in the future. I was on Clear Liquids for 5 days, am in the middle of 5 weeks on full liquids. I hope everything works out for you!

ljscarr got a reaction from Inner Surfer Girl in Pre surgery panic! Thanks all for sharing
I had surgery on April 20th and while in the pre-open room I swear I was going to back out. I was terrified and so many things were going through my head...and then I woke up. I don't remember them even starting the sedation. You will get through it! The unknown and what we make up in our heads is much worse than the reality. Good luck!
