I was on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks post surgery. I thought I was going to die of starvation! But alas, here I am! I am now on a 4 week stint of pureed/soft foods. I see the surgeon again on Feb 7th. I have no idea what's coming next. I am down 25 lb post surgery at the moment. Its never been so easy to so consistenly lose weight. Really amazing!

Way to go!! I have lost 21 since surgery. I had a bit of a stall when I went to pureed foods. I think I had lost a lot of muscle weight during the pre-op liquid and post op. I went back to work on the 9th, so my activity level increased about 500%. I was having a hard time getting in Protein, but doing better now. Staying hydrated is a little hard. At work, I keep a small bottle with me that is a mixture of Powerade Zero, Water, and ice. All my work clothes are too big now. Lol.

Have any of you started to eat actual food? In seeing my dr tomorrow and idk what to expect. I've been eating scrambled egg with a little cheese, split pea Soup and Jello. I kept getting the hunger pains. I've been fine with the food. I can not do the Protein drinks!

I was on Clear Liquids for a week. Now I am on full liquids. I had a little cream of chicken soup (strained) today. My program is pretty strict.

How y'all doing? I am finally feeling more myself. Getting a few things done and resting often.

Just ate some sugar free Jello now that I am home with a plastic spoon. It's not as bad now.

I just had surgery on the 26th. Ever since everything has had a metallic taste to it. I don't know if it was the hospital silverware or what. And it's like my sense of smell has suddenly became heightened. Is this normal?

I'm from East Tennessee. I lived in Nashville for 3 years though. Moved back to East Tennessee a year and half ago.

I had mine on the 26th. Feeling ok except that I have pain from gas. I actually started passing it last night. Hows everyone else doing? I got out of the hospital last night around 6pm

I have been taking children's gas drops for gas. It's helped a lot.

So it's in the last stages... less than 10 hours to go... no more food or water...well I'm off to bed to see if I can get a few hours of sleep.
Hope all goes fantastic and no issues... fear has finally kicked in with some excitement still happening...
Night all......

Hope it goes well!! I had surgery 12-26. The first day is not the greatest. Getting ready for discharge now. I feel much better. You've got this!!
