And starting soft foods per docs request, and I feel so much better!

That is awesome! I didn't get to do that for a while after mine, but it looks like my doc has longer time lines than other doctors. Enjoy the soft food!

how lucky are you!! I'm 8 days post op and just got to start drinking protein shakes today. I don't start soft foods until week 5, I have a ways to go and can't wait!!

Jealous! We get to start soft foods 3 weeks out. Enjoy!

I got soft foods 5 weeks out. I would give myself a treat by getting soup from McCalisters once a week and liquefying it. So one meal a week was something tasty and yes I asked my dr before doing it lol.

I have an off topic question for you! I have my surgery in a month and found out it is scheduled for 10 days before on of my buddies is coming to visit me. How are you feeling 9 days out? Do you have energy and feel you could entertain?

Thanks!

Good to hear you are doing better Rissy.

Donny,

I'm 9 days post op and I could entertain. May not be like it once was with multiple trips to "breastrants" for wings like it has been in the past. But I have plenty of energy to entertain.

I'm 7 days out and I dream of this day.

I'm 7 days out and I dream of this day.

I don't think so. To each their own. I'm day 8and just barely making it around because of the loss of calories. I'm drained. I would not want to socialize for any reason up until this point but I'm starting to feel better today

I ment I dream of the day I get to start soft foods.

I was back to work post-op day 4 and I feel wonderful on soft foods

RissyRoe what kinda stuff have you eaten on soft foods and has anything given you any trouble?

Mashed potatoes, crock pot beef stew, very tender macaroni with fresh cheese, hard boiled eggs with a little bit of pepper, egg salad, chicken salad, scrambled eggs, omlets with swiss cheese, applesauce, soups

The only thing I had a problem with was a tomato sauce that I had the other day. It gave me bad reflux, other than that I can tolerate anything.

About how much can u eat at one time??

2oz
