9 months out. I don't drink during nor at least 30 minutes after eating.
I do, however, drink right up to the start of eating a meal.

Has anyone bought anything from the online store? Is it legit? Any good?
Thanks!

no - I followed my clinic's guidelines because I was afraid of screwing something up.

I actually progressed more slowly than what my program said because I don't want to eat anything that will make me sick. I was allowed to start "soft foods" in week 3 (which included eggs, canned chicken and tuna, soft cooked veggies, etc.), but I mainly stuck with pureed foods. I started eating shredded canned chicken in week 5. I'm 7 weeks out now and I still haven't tried eggs because I've seen a lot of people say they don't tolerate eggs. My program says I can eat "regular" textures now, including raw veggies, but I'm still eating mostly pureed or very soft things (like refried Beans, cottage cheese, and ricotta bake) because I know they won't give me any trouble. I have had some issues with shredded chicken and ground turkey (in very small pieces and swimming in sauce) and butternut squash noodles getting "stuck" and feeling like they might come back up, so I'm reluctant to try anything denser or firmer than that.

I was allowed very milky, well cooked oatmeal in my purée stage (day 15) but I had to wait until soft foods (day 28) for scrambled eggs & mashed up boiled egg. Your tummy will tell you pretty quickly what it can’t tolerate. Did you get a list of foods to eat at each stage?

It isn't clear what stage you are at - do you mean the consistency of oatmeal so perhaps at the pureed food stage? How long to go the next stage? If its a little while perhaps speak to your surgeon or dietician about advancing early.
Some people do have difficulty when they first try eggs after surgery, from memory I was one of them. First time and second time I did soft scrambled eggs I had a bit of pain and a lot of pressure in the stomach. I didn't try them again for another week or so, they went down better that time.

Yes I am much better! I’m about 90% back to normal with minimal soreness on my right side of stomach. I’m able to get in my Protein for the day (70 g) and Water goes down easy. I’ve been sticking to chicken broth and Protein Shakes. I have 4 more days before I can move on to purée stage and I can’t wait! Thanks for checking in😊

I was given go ahead to start puree part at week one surgeon visit. I am having mini egg salads etc it is way better. I was regurgitating that shake stuff all night. It will be hard to get all the sixty in without a shake though still trying to figure that one out since i regurg the shakes
