Just had surgery on 9/25 and all went well. Had an esophageal hernia repaired which was a complete shock. Just found out that I will probably be on puréed an extra two weeks because of it. A friend had surgery a week prior with the same surgeon, same hernia and at her ten day post op appt she was told two more weeks of purée so the esophagus doesn't get irritated. Doesn't mean of will happen to me too but I imagine it will. So sucks. With two week pre op liquid diet, and now this I won't have a solid thing to eat in over a month. Grrrr.

It does suck, I was complaining earlier about having to be on clear liquids for just 3 more days lol I feel your pain. Luckily there is a lot of support here for you...and me too! Just stay focused on what you have to do and remember the benefit of sticking to it when you get to feeling anxious and want to cheat

that does suck, but so important to stick to so you can heal properly. It does get easier.

I know just how you feel, I started my two week liquid diet on June 1st, and I did not have a bite of real food until August 1st, I had my surgery on June 18th, I'm down 78 lbs so far so it was so worth it!
