Thanks! I've read through the paperwork several times' date=' 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.[/quote']

Sorry I never had a puréed stage and went from full liquids to mushy. I have never blended my foods. I would imagine if you have a decent blender you can pulverize most anything.

On my way home. Definitely pressure in my chest/shoulder. But, not too much pain to speak of. I didn't have a hernia. Overall feel pretty good!

No problem! It amazes me how different docs are when it comes to pre/post op diet

Congrats and welcome you your new journey. All doctors can and often seem to be different and that is why I am always saying follow your doctor's guidelines before you listen to anyone else.

I can't believe you're on your way home already! My first thought was 'oh no they didn't do it'! Glad it's over, now go home and take it easy

Thanks, yeah the Doc told me the procedure took 21 minutes. He was disappointed, he normally gets it done in 17. I asked him If he felt like giving me a partial refund for those 4 minutes, he laughed. I don't think I'm getting any money haha. I feel great. Very minimal pain. Walking. Water. burping. SF Popsicles are all my secret weapons ;) lol

      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!!
