my 20th wedding anniversary is coming up Oct 10. We are renting out a local bar and my favorite cover band will be playing (very excited) I will be 6/7 weeks post op by then and I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to enjoy a small nice healthy dinner and 1 cocktail that evening. Of course I will ask my doctor, just wanted to get your input.

thanks.

i find it hard in the puree stage. because my family isn't eating any of the things I get. I buy the smallest quantity of smallest container of things, then I have to put it in a glass container for the next day. Avocados are hard to use up being my family doesn't eat, so that went to a waste. anything after 3 days in the fridge I have to toss. So don't go crazy buying a lot.

today has been hard for me... for some reason I question will I ever get to enjoy going out again or being able to make dinner for the whole family and eat with them? guess I'm in a funk

Ive only told my husband and mom when I scheduled the surgery. I told my teenage boys 2 days before surgery as well as my two best friends. I am a hairdresser and I am sure I will be questioned as my clients see me monthly. But I'm not sure if I will say or what I will say. You have to do what is right for you. I am sad that one of my best friends of 15 years is jealous and has pulled away since. I have a gut feeling she has told her family whom I close with and I will be very disappointed if so...... this is my journey to tell, not hers

today has been interesting.... Im 18 days out, on puree stage. had a Protein Shake with blended fruit. (liquified) then later had a lot of Water. then later had cottage cheese, and took my gummy vitamins I take everyday. about 45 min later I had more water and was moving around a lot picking up the house and my stomach felt just full and every time I moved I felt like it was coming up. a couple times it almost came up and still hours later, I can only sip water. not move around a lot.
what does it mean? I'm no where near my Protein today and don't think I can put anything in.???

i'm 5 days ahead of you. I will say it does get better weekly. I still cook for the family and the smells really are mental for me. when they get fast food its hard but the more I'm exposed it seems to get better. I have head hunger all the time. luckily, my stomach doesn't allow it.

you're not alone!

EXACTLY what i needed to hear. I'm only 2 weeks out but the future sounds worth it all. Thank You. Sadly, I've already lost one friend of 16 years from jealously I think? Sad, but I'm staying strong and moving forward.
