    Congrats! Are you hungry? How are you feeling? And you are lucky you already get puree. I'm looking at soft foods starting on the 10th of January.
    Thanks you too! Honestly no...right now I'm dealing with what everyone does I think...the mental cravings and stubbornness...my surgeon has me puree this week and next then soft solids the following week hopefully it get better:)

    I was in the hospital for 2 nights...but if you're going home just make sure that you have what you think you will need during the night near you, Water, ice, premeasured pain meds etc I'm sure you'll do fine!!

    Only 6 days after the surgery and already on purée stage! You are doing great! I made soups: fish Soup, mushroom soup, you can have egg salad, tuna salad. I also made meatballs. You can have a lot of varieties, just make sure your food has Protein. Let me know which recipe will interest you, I will send to you.

    1&2: My pain was horrible but I also had a hernia repair. I made sure to ask for meds when my pain level was at like a 2 or 3 because let's be real it takes nurses awhile to get the meds then for the meds to kick in. I also found that ice packs were a god sent after surgery to help with pain control. Definitely get up and walk around to help with the gas :)

    3: keep drinking!! My doctor had a regiment set 4oz an hour...make sure you take slow sips, to this day I still get some pain if I take to big of a sip and I'm pain free (1wk post op)

    4: As far as the dogs I have 2 dogs that like to lay on me as well and to be honest you won't want them on your stomach (atleast I didn't the thought made me cringe) so I kept a pillow there for "protection" just in case.

    5: my post op appointment was yesterday and doc said when you are back to yourself and def not on the pain meds..makes sense since he sent me home with liquid narcotics

    6: 1 week post op and I've lost 17lbs so I guess it depends on the person but from my 6 years of research and various contacts it's supposedly going to come off quickly. Yay!!

    7: my recovery hasn't been too bad so far but don't over exert yourself for sure...make sure you still get plenty of rest :)

    8: I have no problem sleeping on my stomach now but for the first few days I slept semi reclined like in a recliner...helped with the gas pain too!!

    9: post op diet...I'm shocked they didn't tell you this as well...in the hospital I was only allowed Water and ice until I had my contrast test then "bariatric clear liquids" so broth sugar free Jello etc. I continuously was letting ice melt in my mouth because it didn't hurt to swallow the miniscule amount. Hospital Jello was crap but when I got home for the last week I lived on Protein shakes, v8+h20, h2o, Tomato Soup, jello (box has less after taste) and my doctor allowed me to have 4oz activia yogurt only the vanilla

    10: my hair hasn't fallen out :)

    Hair loss doesn't start until 3 or 4 months post op.

    I have read that but thanks :) I'll be happy to lose some hair for better health :)
