October 16, 201312 yr Author back2barb78 That's one of the questions I was going to ask him if I could take something. When I meant lighter I should said the way my clothes that were too tight on certain areas are loose. But I need to do eliminate soon as well we had our surgery on the same day so it's about time.

You haven't either? I emailed my nutritionist this morning and she said if i needed it i could take the MOM but that I really need to increase my fluids because I told her I'm really not hungry and having a hard time drinking my fluids. She told me try harder! Damn tough love!! I held out all day to see if it would happen and it hasn't so I'm just drinking it now. I figured it would take a while but it's been 8 days!! {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}
October 16, 201312 yr Author I was going to ask tomorrow. But knew since we aren't able to eat much we wouldn't have a lot in us.

October 19, 201312 yr Hi! I'm thinking y'all had your surgery the same day or close to as me. I had surgery Oct 10! When did y'all? I'm new in here and not sure how it all works. Forgive me if I did this wrong!
October 19, 201312 yr Author I eat eggs, tuna, oatmeal, today I had a salad grind up really good only 1/2 cup tolerated well. I still do my shakes and skim milk and plenty of water. Somebody else recommended hash and to make a crustless quiche which I may do tomorrow. I still look around and explore for new soft foods so I won't get tired eating the same thing.

Today I am officially over this liquid diet and the first day I have been in a bad mood. my energy is soooo low. Thankfully my boyfriend sent me some flowers today because I started not feeling well yesterday. Not sick just over the fluids. I have 5 more days! I keep looking at the calendar they gave me like it's going to change I'm going to find a stale cracker to lick (saw that someone licked wheat thins on another thread).
I go for my 1 week postop visit tomorrow and I will be so happy to start puréed/soft foods! I have look up a recipe for crustless egg white quiche and I am so ready to try it!!! I'm happy to make it to that stage finally!!
