dsheive, they also found Barrett's Esophagus while they were in there. Jamie, Yes that is pretty much what I am doing now. they sent me home with a little sheet that said Protein shakes and flavored protein waters, creamed Soups, light fruited yogurt, lots of Water. Hoping pathology comes back good and I can strive forward. I saw my primary care yesterday and asked that he refer me to a dietitian at our little home town hospital. The hospital I had the surgery at is 80 miles a way, but our hospital here is one of their campus's.

I know how you feel. I had a tumor and ended up with a partial gastric bypass to boot. I am 11 days out and kind of winging it. I asked the NUT how much I should be consuming. She and the surgeon both told me I will have to go by how my stomach feels because I have more stomach and a larger opening than most that have this surgery. I am at the moment on full liquid. I see the surgeon in 3 days, I am assuming I will move to soft food stage then...I hope.
