My surgeon says no ice for at least 6 months after surgery??? What am I going to do without ice??? I forgot to ask why last week at my appt. I feel silly calling and bothering them to ask that. Does anyone know why?

thats weird. i always used the only way water would go down in the beginning is with ice. same thing with my shakes i had to put ice.hmmmmmm

They were bringing me ice chips in the hospital right after surgery! This must just be something your surgeon does.

I never heard of such a thing. I lived off of sugar free Popsicles for a few days after surgery and there's no difference between those and ice. Strange.

Very interesting. They had ice chips for me as soon as I got from post-op to my room. I would just ask doc why he does not allow. It would help me knowing why he has me doing different things.

In with the others, first post op meal was ice chips. If you find out why I'd love to know!!!!
