I am so glad to see you are doing well.

Praying for the surgeries tomorrow.

Thanks. My doc said try a bite of new food and wait 5 min to see how you feel. If a food upsets you give it at least 3 days before you try it again. I think I will try.scrambled egg tomorrow as my first soft food.

My surgery was on 12-3 & I am still on liquids until tomorrow hopefully when I go to my post op appt I was on it so long to give my new pouch and other sites extra time to heal because I had some complications

Bc you are a day behind me. My full liquids stop today...the 18th. I can eat soft foods now, well in the morning I will. I did 2 full weeks post op of liquids. So your 2 weeks should be up Wed the 19th.

Alright my husband is one week post op! Surgery went great and he is in some pain. He is not feeling full though. He is eating something all day. He is still on full liquids, eating jello, pudding, spaghetti sauce, carnation drinks, and protien shakes. He doesn't feel full or have a belch or anything like that. He was constipated yesterday he finally told me he ate one tootsie roll while I was gone. Do you think that clogged him up? Could y'all tell me what y'all eat in one sitting when you feel full?

I am eating 3 tablespoons of either grits, thin mashed potatoes, plain oatmeal with tsp of applesausce (unsweet), jello, or pudding. 3X a day with high protien shake in between and I haven't been hungary. I haven't been stuffed but I feel satisfied.

I can only eat a few ounces and I am satisified, I have went over once and felt extremely sick. I don't think the tootsie roll really did anything unless he didn't chew it well it could get stuck in there (but then he couldnt eat, he would vomit), other than that it would pass but usually chocolate would cause diarrhea not constipation I think? Is he eating small amounts each time or can he eat a lot at one sitting? He is still on liquids so that is also something to consider since liquids are going to run through your pouch pretty fast, so that might be why he is still hungry after. I am only 8 days, and do have a hard time still getting food in, but I also am on soft diet already, so I am actually eating somethings that will stay in my stomach longer than just liquids which I can do a lot more freq and easier. Is he still losing weight? I would think he is fine, call his dr for the constipation thing since that can get dangerous, mine told me to do a tiny bit of milk of Magensia and that did the trick for me, and I only took a tiny bit since you don't want diarrhea.

Sitting at the doctors office for my post op appt I can't wait to see how much weight I have lost and for them to remove my drainage port it hurts so bad being in over 2 weeks and hopefuly I can start full liquids today I would like something other than broth and popcicles

I was on clear liquids for two days then they switched me to full liquids until the 20th which is a total of 7 days, then I will be on pureed for 3-5 weeks, next I will be on regular diet (scary to think about). I can only have 2 ounces of food an hour and that is it....eg. pudding, shakes, yogurt but I can tolerate about 6oz clear liquids in an hour before I start belching. Your body will let you know what it can tolerate.

My husband is eight days too. We don't have a " planned diet ". We only have guidelines to follow. I would just think after two cups of soup and a cup of skim milk he should be full. You think he should go to soft diet?

Just had the drain removed. Not very pleasant,actually made me nauseous. IV's are all out. Waiting for discharge paperwork then home I go. Little nervous about going home, did anyone else feel nervous? Although while I was here my baby girl, a black boxer, had 5 pups. My house has been in an uproar with my dogs and daughter missing me. Our cat went into hiding and is feeling neglected too. :-( I feel so bad for being away for almost 5 days.

I just want some normalcy
