That's great! I was sleeved on July 29th and have had not had any meds. after bring released. It appears that I've developed a slight cough and congestion. Remember, I here in Miss. and the weather if extremely hot. Today I scheduled for full liquids. Has anyone tried egg drop soup? I'm planning to strain the eggs out if it.

Hello Everyone,

I am one week away from surgery day, 8-14. I am excited and nervous at the same time. Nervous because I am about to let go my love affair with food and excited to be a healthy new me. Nervous because I will take this journey without my soulmate by my side, newly widowed. Excited because he ALWAYS cheered me on with anything I ever wanted to do.

I guess since its 2 weeks of liquids and 2 weeks of soft food, I really wanna know what people were able to tolerate and some meal choices for when its time to be able to eat real food again.

Continued Blessings All

I'm so sorry for your loss.

As for foods I'm in the soft purée stage, I have 2-3 protein shakes a day, Incan eat eat beaters with cheese, grits, cream of rice. I recently made turkey salad in my food processor it was so good! I feel in love with Dannon light and fit Greek vanilla yogurt. I have had decaf tea and coffee.

I say practice to eat slow and chew thoroughly, and once surgery is finished sip and walk, my first two weeks I kept water bottles in every room. I was afraid of getting dehydrated. I can manage 50-64oz a water.

ALWAYS remember we are all different, and our tastes and needs vary.

All the best to you.

I'm still on the phase II full liquids, start puréed after day 15. It's not so bad some thing I can eat are sugar free jello, Popsicles. Pudding, strained soup.

So sorry for your lost, you will have an angel over your surgeon's shoulder.

Take care of yourself.

That egg drop soup sounds like a good idea.

My mom was from New Orleans and cooked with sachets. She would fill little squares of cheesecloth with the seasonings of her choice and toss them in whatever she was cooking. This way she got the flavor she wanted without having to worry about fishing out or straining seasoning flakes out of food items she didn't want people to see this flakes.

Sorry for your lost MZO...He is truly there with you and so is God and Sleeve Sisters... You're going to be fine! Its already done in Jesus name!

Fibro Diva...come join us on facebook if you have not yet. Not sure if you're there with us but Sleeve Sisters is a wonderful group!
