    Oh that sucks. Maybe try a scrambled egg instead tomorrow or thinned out cream of wheat?

    The chicken salad went great. I did a large can of chicken, 3 TBSP mayo, a tiny bit of celery seed, then salt and pepper. I took 20 mins to eat it and felt good.

    Tonight for dinner I am making roasted chicken thighs, carrots and mashed potatoes......so I am going to puree one of the thighs for me then add some carrots and have a tiny bit of mashed potato too. We will see how that goes.

    How much did you eat? I think I will try chicken salad tonight. I have everything to make it.

    Hi gang.

    I had my post op appt today and it went very well.
    I am allowed pureed foods which he wants me to transition to soft over the next 3 weeks......so I came home and immediately made pureed chicken salad.

    I was also told to go to it with restarting my exercise, so I am very happy about that.

    That’s awesome. Today was awful for me so far. I started purée but decided to try really thin oatmeal. I had about 2 ounces mixed with fairlife milk and Water. It went down fine and about an hour later it justnfelt like a brick sitting. But since I still needed a Protein Shake I waited and then had my shake and water in between. And ugh the pain. My whole chest just felt terrible. So I had to lay down a bit. Then I cried and had a pity party for myself thinking wtf did I do to myself. Ugh. I just took a nice hot shower and am drinking water slowly and am smacking myself out of my pity party.

    So how was the chicken salad. What did you make it with....

    I took liquid Tylenol 2 days after surgery.....the worst thing I have ever tasted in my life. Omg it was nasty. I will save it in case of emergency, but dear Lord that was horrid.

    I am really looking forward to having some real food tomorrow.

    Yeah drinking is going well here too.....as long as I don't gulp, I am good.

    So glad you are doing well.

    My one week is tomorrow and I am actually allowed to start purées tomorrow. My follow up is Friday. Yesterday seemed to be a really hard day but I decided to stop being stubborn and take Tylenol a bit more regularly. Now I feel better. And I am able to take much bigger sips so I am shooting for 100 ounces of Water. I got in 80 yesterday plus other liquids. I think this made a huge difference because I was feeling shitty before. Not having to take baby sips anymore also helps. As long as I don’t drink too fast I don’t have any issues drinking normally.

    I think I am going back to work Monday. I was planning on going back this Thursday but I may take another day or two yet.

    I drink just about everything. Water, Premier shakes and drinks, tea, broth, thinned Soups. Everything thats allowed. I have no restriction it seems. I only stop "eating" because of the amount I measure out, not because I'm full. and I am meeting my liquid and Protein goals daily

    I’m having the same except Soups but I only measure to track and make sure I get my fluids in. I don’t limit myself. I figure the more Water the better. I don’t ever really feel full either but I am not hungry. If I drink too fast though I know it. Or too big of a sip. But nothing tells my mind that I am full. My stomach maybe still too sore and swollen but I am just trying to stay hydrated at this point. Because every morning I wake up and want to chug a bottle of water I am so thirsty lol

    I’m starting purées on Wednesday but the hunger is constant and never ending. I’m honestly really disheartened. I’m just sick about the fact that I feel NO different in terms of appetite after surgery. I know my doctor is very good and I’m sure he did a good job but I hate my body right now. I’m scared that I’m going to nibble my way through this damn bypass if I can’t stop feeling hungry all the time. This is legit stomach hunger not head hunger. Today I just feel defeated

    I start purées Wednesday also but I have zero hunger. Still have some soreness and bloating so perhaps that’s why. What are you drinking in a day ?

    My surgery was the day after you. I’m glad I don’t work because my energy levels are still close to zero. Just walking around a shopping centre wipes me out. Not sure if that is from the anaesthesia, the op, the blood transfusions I received or the middle ear infection I currently have!

    Other than that recovery has been pretty good. No pain. Just trying to figure out what foods I can eat as mushies. I’m tired of yogurt and custard and other sweet foods. Weetbix and oats don’t sit very well. tuna or smoked salmon with cottage cheese is pretty good but I seriously need new easy ideas that don’t taste like baby food.

    I have lost just over 4kg since the surgery. I’m happy with that as I’m a revision and don’t have a heap to lose.

    First thing I’m making mid week is ricotta bake

    I was released from the hospital yesterday, after one night in hospital. what did you eat your first day? And how much Water did you drink? Did you start off with your 60oz of Water right away?

    I have no feeling to eat which is so unreal.

    I had bypass but I got about 40-50 ounces of water in. No Protein except a few sips. My drs office called to check in and she said that’s fine. Just try to get to 64 ounces by next Wednesday and also start Vitamins by then. I’m really just focusing on water right now. Today I had warm tea and that went down pretty well and 16 ounces of water so far. So about 24 ounces of fluids ... I’ll try something with protein a bit later

    Here I am post OP day 3.
    I honestly feel really good.
    I haven't taken a pain pill since Wednesday, tylenol yesterday, nothing today.
    Tmi...I pooped for the first time this morning, so I am happy that's out of the way.

    I am actually debating going back to work on Monday and save that second week of vacation for true days off.

    Don’t go back too early!

    I'm having some coffee right now, the iv bag is almost done and then I am getting discharged early afternoon.

    I will tell you....small sips and walk.
    I get up and walk every hour and then come back and use that incentive spirometer.
    Oh and I had the lovely surprise of heparin shots in my stomach.

    Good luck to you today!!!!!

    Thank you! I will have a heparin shot before surgery so I am not looking forward to that.

    Thanks for the advice!

    I have to be at the hospital at 9!!!!! I am so excited and nervous.
    I have been battling with my sinuses the past 2 days. With the temps up and down, it has not helped me. No fever though, no cough either. Just my nose one extreme or the other....stuffed up or Niagara falls.

    I was allowed clear fluids until 5 am....luckily, I woke up at 4 and was able to have coffee.

    I will post more later I'm sure.

    Yeah just do regular broth.
    I started keeping packets of it in my desk just in case.

    Maybe make your own Bone Broth? I've done that and it is pretty good that way.....but a heck of alot cheaper to just buy it in the store. LOL

    Are you ready for tomorrow? do you know what time your surgery is yet?

    I have changed my mind about 5 times in the past hour so far about going through with it. I keep telling myself I am not nervous but this is how I know I am LOL

    Here’s a recipe for a crust if you want to try to make your own — you can top it with whatever toppings you like. You might want to adjust for portions. I am pre op for a few more days but I will probably continue to make this post op when I am able to eat these foods.

    Recipe is for 2 pizzas

    Large can chicken breast drained and chopped up good

    1/2 c Parmesan chz

    1/4 c mozzarella chz

    1 egg

    1 tsp garlic powder

    2 tbsp mayo of choice (I use avocado mayo)

    Salt and pepper

    Mix well

    Place on parchment paper and form into shape of Pizza Crust, not too thick...

    Bake on 475 for 10-15 min

    Flip cook addtl 5-10 ( should be held together and crispy) now add toppings

    Bake addtl 5-10 min
