Good luck! After surgery I ate broth, sugar free popsicles, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and apple sauce. I'm sure your doc or nutritionist will give you a list.

Woohoo, it's finally time! You'll need those SF popsicles because your throat will be a bit sore, but when you leave tomorrow, they should give you some SF hard candy for the trip back home. Are you having to go to Cincy to do it, or do they have a hospital they work with near you? Ricotta and pizza sauce is really good, tuna or chicken salad in the blender was pretty good. Refried Beans and chicken broth was good. That's all I can really remember for now. Good luck, you will do great and check in to report how you are doing!

Congrats and good luck. Most people start on liquids and your doctor should have given you a list of things to have. Make sure you read through all your paperwork.

Thanks! I've read through the paperwork several times, thanks for the suggestion. I'm an expert of the liquids stage, just curious what others ate during the purée stage. He gave me a list, but those aren't the only foods I'm allowed to have, I'm asking for other suggestions. Thanks.

Hey Creekwood ... So excited for you. My nut told me that any meal in a good blender will taste delicious. She suggested adding liquid to anything I might be blending. If you want chicken...just add some chicken broth and hit blend until Teresa no lumps. you're probably sick of chicken. Anything your family is eating can go into the blender. Its all about getting nutrients and healing. Good luck to you...I'm so excites for you. Can't wait for your first post op note!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
