Finally entered phase 3 yesterday! I can now eat soft moist meats, soft cheeses, pureed beans, eggs.

It is s daily struggle, they most I've been able to drink in one day is 52oz. I'll be 2 wks post-op on Monday.

Drink, drink, drink and remember to chew, chew, chew! Lol

Des, I'm so sorry to hear that news. After all your prep. But no matter when it happens, because it will happen... you'll always be a September Sleever! Please keep us posted!

@@Desmond Longbottom Please don't let anyone bring you down and you didn't come this far to turn back now! YOU will be GREAT! You are almost there! And I don't care if your surgery is in October, YOU will always be a September Sleever! The stabbing is only the beginning all the fun starts Post-Op.

Are you following your doctor's diet? What are you eating?

Day 3 - feeling good, no pain. Most difficult part is trying to drink 64oz of fluid throughout the day. In almost 12 hrs. I de only been able to consume approx. 1/2 = 32 oz. It's only 5:30pm, here but I'm not going to be up to 5:30am, to consume the rest. Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow.

Wishing you all the best today BeDoHave. You are in my thoughts and prayers, everything will be fine! In doing great! Waiting for you on this side! ~♡~♡~

You will do fine! Good luck and keep us posted!

Made it to the other side! Feeling good! Day 2 - should be going home today w/phase 2 (clear liquids & shakes)

Should be going home today. Entering phase 2 today, clear liquid & shakes. Some pain, but tolerable with meds. No bloating, no nausea. Having the Biotene spray was a plus! Feeling good!

oh, no! Aren't they giving you something?

Out of surgery! Everything went well, been in room since 3pm. A lil nausea, lots pain! No drain (woohoo) overall+good

On my way to the hospital now, surgery @ 10am. Good luck to all!!!
