HI everyone !! I got home Wed. evening, and I'm doing great. NO problems what so ever. Just taken it easy, drinking, walking, and sipping. I feel much better that I thought I would at this point. No nausea, not much pain. SO far everything is great! I'm glad to be home.

Cograts on an uneventful surgery, and a speedy recovery! Best wishes!

YAY! That is great news. Congrats!

Congratulations!!! I have been following thhe board quietly for the last few months, but now my date is near. I am scheduled for Dec. 7th, I hope that I am feeling as well as you when I come home.

WOOT!! WOOT!!!! Glad everything went well for you....

Good to hear Judy! Welcome back

Welcome back Judy! I'm glad you're doing so well.

Welcome back Judy! I'm glad you're doing so well.

DeeDee you are doing so well gurl...I'm very happy for you. Your such a pretty girl to start with, you just get prettier as you go.

I have a question for everyone. Did you eat pudding the first week. I've been on Clear liquids, straight from the Dr. But the put some pudding in my box also. I ate some and it's been fine, no problems at all. Do you think I'm pushing it eating pudding 2 days out?

Thanks

Judy:blushing:

So thankful that everything went well for you Judy!

I was put on full liquids when I got home from the hospital and able to eat sugar free pudding. It may not hurt, but you should try and follow your Dr's orders.

Hugs,

JoAnne

I was also on full liquids when I returned home, so yogurt and pudding would have been okay for me at that time.

Thank you for the kind words Judy!

I was put on a clear diet for 3 weeks. I'm starting to wonder If I can drop that back to 2weeks? I'm noticing that a lot of people on here were on full liquids by the 2nd week if not the 1st week.

My diet was 1 week clear Fluid & 2 weeks full fluid then 1 week soft food

based on what I've been reading, I'm really leaning toward going to full liquid next week. So far I haven't had any pain, and am planning going back to work on week 3. I really doubt that a clear liquid diet would suffice me going back to work now.

thats what I would do .....knowing what others did. I never had any problems.....then when you do the full liquids you can drink the protien shakes as well and have decent lump free soups

congratulations Judy for the surgery. I am happy for you. Take care of yourself.

Hello JudyJudyJudy,

Glad to hear that everything is going oK. I had my surgery on Dec. 2 and when I went home I had to start my pureed diet. Pureed diet consists of any table foods have to have gravy, milk, water, ect... to put into the blender to puree them to the consistancy that can be drawn up through a straw (BUT DON'T DRINK IT THROUGH THE STRAW TO AVOID AIR, BECAUSE OF GAS) WITH NO LUMPS. I wanted some Fish so bad tonight, so I took a piece of it and put it in some cream of mushroom soup and pureed it in my blender. I had to eat it very slowly and a couple of times it seemed like I might either have been getting full or starting to get nauseous, but it passed and I ate all of it, just a few ounces. I am going to try to start experimenting with different foods so that next week if I get to start on soft foods (TABLE FOODS THAT CAN BE MASHED UP WITH A FORK) maybe it will be easier to know what works and what don't.

If the pudding is too thick, maybe you could mix a little skim milk in it to make it more the consistancy that would go through a straw. I hope this helps. Have a fast recovery!!
