Today I'm 9 days post op only 4more days on liquids then i can start soft foods!! But does 4days really make that much of a difference?? I feel great and i haven't felt hungry I'm getting my protein in but when it comes to dinner with my kids and a hot meal ohhhhhhh how i miss that :-( i got my son a plain chicken sandwich today from wendys and because we forgot to ask for bbq sauce he didn't feel like eating it so he turns to me and says you want this? I was like omg why would you say that you know i can't eat!! Then we both laughed. I could go for a baked potato only about half if that! Lol ok that was my rant i feel better now.

U read my mind I want real food lol

Rant away... You got this girls!

Omg i feel like I'm so close to being out of liquid hell but not there yet! I keep saying I'll be fine if i eat something small but i can't bring myself to do it. Just made one of my kids a personal pepperoni Pizza homemade! And boy do i miss those. I'm back in my room (my cave) with sipping my muscle milk lol

I did try a little bit of baked potato. My husband and I were out in town and he was hungry. I literally took a spoonful of a baked potato and asked for some hot Water so I could thin it out. It settled OK. Also, chick-fil-a has a REALLY good Soup, ask for mostly broth. They also have diet lemonade that's really good! The baked potato was about a week post-op...

A baked potato was my first food and went very well at a week post op

Me too but that's just because I can't keep liquid Protein down anymore, I hate broth (chicken), and I can't stand Jello.

By the way, tomorrow is 7 day out.

You guys got this. If your doctor says not to move on to the soft stage until a certain date then dont do it. You are still healing inside there and you dont want to comprimise the healing process. The mind makes you feel like you want realy food but when you eventually get it you wont be able to eat very much. Try finding something now to turn your addiction to food from. It will help you in the long run.

My doctor only allowed us to be discharged from hospital if we were able to hold down soft foods.... Im 5 days post op.
