    1 week in, eating solid food? Why not?

    Well, I saw my surgeon 10 mins prior to the surgery, and I haven't seen him since. I was handed pain pills, nausea meds and a stool softener. The nurse told me not to eat solids for the 1 week, then move up. Then she said it wouldn't be a problem because I wouldn't want to eat anything solid. Then it was good luck, we'll see you on the 28th. A little info goes a long way. I doesn't have to be a secret.

    Thank you! That is an answer I can understand! No one ever did tell me why not, just don't. As for chewing and eating small, I chew things to a pulp before I swallow! That's taking some getting used to, but I figure that's the way it's going to be.
  3. As of this writing, I'm 6 days out from my surgery. There was also a nasty hiatal hernia that was repaired also. So far as well as Jello, and cup o'Soup, I have had some solid food. Hamburger meat and chicken mostly. I've had no issues keeping food down, no pain, although my stomach does have odd feeling after I eat. But I get that feeling regardless of what I eat or drink. A good burp later and all's good. No one ever did tell me why not to eat solids, just don't. The biggest reason I even tried was because when I finally started going to the bathroom, it's been diarrhea hell!
