I just realized in my paperwork.. that I go from the 5 wks of full liquids stage to solid food. There is no mushie/puree stage! WOOOO HOOOOOO

of course it says to eat tender things, chew 230942304 times, no steak yet etc etc.. BUT IM EXCITED. YESSSSSSSSSSSS :)

I guess I can live thru 4 more wks of full liquids :)

I am surprised you are on full liquids for so long. I would include a soft and mushy stage just to be safe. While you think you might be ready to move on your stomach may not.

I was only prescribed to stay on full liquids for a week, mushy/puree/soft solids for 2 weeks and progress to solid foods as tolerated.

Least to say, it took over 3 months for solid foods to be tolerable. You might find that even the most mushed up, chewed to cardboard tasting foods just don't work that soon.

Of course, we'll all cheer for you if you can eat 3oz of chicken that early, but typically that's not the case.

I plan on taking it veryyy slow. Like baked Beans, chicken salad, mashed potatoes etc... I am going to be thrilled with just that! The chicken can wait lol

I don't blame ya one bit. Those are all mushy/pureed by my guideline so I think you'll do great. Don't forget egg salad, and Greek yogurt YUM ! ! !

Chicken still sucks for me at 2 years out compared to red meats. Scallops and shrimp are both really good Protein soft Proteins that will help you not live on Protein Drinks for months on end.

      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!!
