The liquid stage is the worst. You just want to CHEW something! Once you get to the mushies stage it gets easier. Until then sugar free popsicles are great! And jello--even if you normally hate it it tastes pretty good!

Mushies--refried Beans are great--drizzle a little taco sauce on them. Ricotta cheese with a bit of no sugar added spaghetti sauce. eggs with a little salsa are great. I'm gonna have to stop--I'm making myself hungry!

You are doing great!

at 14 days ricotta cheese is ok?

Take ricotta cheese and drizzle some no sugar added spaghetti sauce on it. Yum!

here's how to eat slowly...take a very small bite, about the size of an almond. Chew it thoroughly, about 20 seconds, swallow and put your fork down. Don't take the next bite until a full minute later. That way it should take you at least 15 minutes to eat. You definitely don't want to push your sleeve too soon--if you pop any stitches it is a MAJOR problem.

9 days and ricotta cheese is ok? the variety of doctors and diets and procedures is overwhelming.

13 days all good

this is really unique. every person experience differently. Second day evening i was back in office working.

My sister did it she took almosta month to recover.

Don't worry unless it starts to cause pain. Some people never have difficulty drinking. It probably has to do with how much/little swelling you experienced. So long as you keep sipping and not gulping, you are fine.

i am 13 days in the op and now dont sip any more just drink. is that a problem at all dont feel any discomfort

So how come some doc says coffe ok others no??? does that make sense?

If coffe is ok why not for all and/or vice versa
