How do you feel so far?

I physically feel fine... Little to no pain, the hardest part has been getting the fluids in...

I also actually only had one day of pain meds then Tylenol for a day... I went home 2 days later without any pain meds... Just soreness

Lucky you!! I had mine 8/7 too. The second and third day I was so nauseated. Now, I am sore in my stomach and back. I've tried to get all my liquid in and I absolutely can't!

awesome to hear!!

Ladybug, the liquid has been the hardest part for me. You literally have to sip all day.. I'm not getting all mine in either, but I'm getting enough.. The other thing is the variety of liquid... I'm tired of water, shakes and broth... I like the jello, so it helps, but I can't wait for soft foods...

I understand, I'm ready to chew something. For the water, I bought Kool-Aid squirt bottles that are SF. I love them, the flavoring is awesome! I'm also eating SF pudding and cream soups. I'm so so sick of broth! Makes me gag thinking about it. Lol!!!

My dr has not said I can do pudding or cream soups... I hope I get that approval on Wednesday. If not... I'll be in a real bad mood!. I can say, and this is very gross, but I have chewed a few things... Chewed and spit it back out no swallowing.. Then rinsed my mouth really well.. Sometimes you just need to chew something and gum didn't work.. I am going to try the kook aid favors.. I hope they help

I was cleared for soup and pudding but I was told no gum! They said the gum would cause me to swallow air and fill my pouch up. Chewing and spitting is a good idea! I may have to try it!! I hope the kool-aid helps too. It has really helped me so much!
