Flint, Michigan here:)

1 boiled egg was added to my food list after 2 weeks post op. I can have one with 1 tbsp. of a condiment like lowfat mayo, mustard, ketchup, etc mixed in it. nut said egg is too dry in tummy so add something to it.

I had one too. Took a couple of days for the deep breaths to stop hurting, but it wiil stop.

Mine was the 10TH also. My Dr. said to drink approx. 2 oz every 15 min. so 1 cup in 1 hour. Sipping not gulping. Pureed food 2oz. the half hour 3 times aday. Take it slow. I know how u feel about not knowing because sensations are different. Might be more normal feeling in a few more weeks:) Good luck

Had my surgery late Monday afternoon. They let me come home 24 hours later. Today, my first full day has been a little rough. Pain is not too bad, but have had too work at getting fluids in because makes me a tad sick. Just keep plugging away sipping and walking around the house and doing breathing treatment thingy:). I haven't had to take pain meds so far today, but have taken the nausea meds. Dr. said to just try to keep sipping, but not to the point I throw up. It is, after all, only day 1. Keeping things positive!

I was most worried about getting sick after surgery, but was really scared in general

I am 62 as well, and my surgery is Monday. I am scared shitless:)

Had mine yesterday and I was totally fine:)

I am on the end of day 4 out of 15 of my liquid diet. I have had headaches for the last 2 days. Sick of protein shakes too. Need to get some jello and low sodium chicken broth. Sure hope this gets a little better:)

You are awesome and inspiring!

Look, I am just starting. Have surgery in like 20 days. We are all gonna screw up. We did before the surgery. You can't feel bad for being human...we all f up. Tomorrow is another day and do your regular eating routine, .I already know I will make mistakes, but will do my best to compensate for it. Be kind to yourself;)

I have to start a 14 day liquid diet this weekend. How come some are 7 days and others 14? Really nervous about starting.

I start Sunday. Good luck\]

I am scheduled for Dec. 10. I was required 1 weigh in.
