Monday starts the first day of a "regular diet" which isn't regular in my book.. lol Its been an easy journey for the most part for me. Surgery was August 2nd, and It really was better than I anticipated. Now I do waste a lot of food now, Haven't mastered this food thing yet. Soft foods I can eat now, and I had a soft taco and didnt finish it. This is new territory for me and im glad I made the decision

Had surgery 8/2 and i’m on my last week of puréed food… This week is going to go by slow as ever…

Omg. I did have mine on the 2nd. As well. Can’t stand the Protein Shake anymore. I’m having purée food and mash potatoes. Is all good

i’m going to try to buy some Lean Cuisine meals and blend them.. Do you have anything with your eggs?

August 2nd surgery and I had to get my first IV drip for dehydration.. 1 hour of IV is a lot simpler than sipping an ounce or two of Water every ten minutes lol.. I’m trying my best to stay on my liquid and protein.. I start puree diet Monday and i’m dreading that

How are you feeling?

i’m feeling ok actually, if this was meant for me

lol had mine on the 2nd as well... its hard for me to get Protein as well.. I never thought to put the powder in gatorade, I will try it! I cant eat mashed potatoes until the puree stage! I think that stage will be harder for me than the liquid stage.. I am looking forward to mashed potatoes tho lol. Counting the days, I start that phase on Monday!

I miss my oxtails

yeah it’s more uncomfortable than really painful.. It was painful for me in recovery tho once I woke up… my incisions i don’t even know they are the ere unless I look at them. I have no pain or soreness around those spots… just the cramps/gas

Got it done yesterday and I’m getting to go home today. Pain isn’t so bad I think it’s more gas than tummy pain,but I am dry heaving when I drink fluids.

Oh noooooo..... are they giving you gas-x?

no they haven’t

i’m out of surgery, first night! The gas pains are horrible

It’s time to go to hospital shortly! Will post afterwards if I can!

Ive never had surgery before.. Ive only been put under once in my life when I was about 12, and that as because I broke my leg and they had to shift it back in place , dont know why they put me to sleep for that, maybe because pain would be too much for a 12 year old... but here I am 45 getting put under for a 2nd time... First actual surgery

My surgery is tomorrow ! I report at 11:15 AM

that’s what I had for dinner lol
