I'm scheduled for 2/6/14. Who else is getting sleeved in February?

I have begun the soft food phase of the program and have a question. I do not see eggs on ether the approved food list or the not approved list. Why? My wife has about four containers of egg whites but I'm not sure if they are good or bad. Advise would be welcomed.

They are on my list for puréed stage. Scramble, Blend then reheat. But from what I can tell is every dr/NUT has different requirements. I would check with them

Gosh that's my fear about going back to work, work appropriate clothing lol I have been in sweats or yoga pants since surgery and not looking forward to restrictive pants. I hand much post op appointment and post op class tomorrow debating if I want to wear jeans or just continue the path I have been going and wear something stretchy and comfy! Glad to hear work is going well and atleast you have an office lol I am preschool teacher so I am def nervous ! I have a classroom full of little ones running around

Softly scrambled eggs are on my puréed list.

I hope you feel better soon. Things will get better, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, it's just frustrating. I know I just have to take it day by day.

I find protein powders intolerable. I barf them up. It doesn't matter what I add it to, I get very ill. And I can barely tolerate protein drinks. I can handle 3 ounces of the RTD premier chocolate. The vanilla makes me barf. I just feel like if it weren't for cream of chicken soup I'd starve. Any ideas??

I'm the same way. I can't ad protein powders to soups, or drink em. They tasted like chocolate milk before, but not now. Same with the carnation instant breakfast. I tried to to suck one down last night and I just couldn't.

And the protidiets are ok, but same in the nor so delicious now category.

I'm at like 33 g of protein today. Struggling getting more than that. Same with liquids. I'm maybe getting 40-50oz. I'm trying to eat more popsicles. Hah.

Anyone having sleeping problems post op?

I had surgery on Monday afternoon and if it wasn't for my liquid percaset I wouldn't sleep at all and I wouldn't get any liquids in either, it hurts when I lay down, hurts when I get up! So I know it'll take a lil while so I'm just gonna use the meds they gave me lol.

My insurance wouldn't cover the pain meds in liquid form. Nice, huh? Lol

I was just getting concerned Bc I'm getting like 150-200 calories a day.

As for sleeping, I'm a side sleeper and that deep incision burns sometimes and pulls so it wakes me up.

I don't have a problem sleeping, especially with the liquid lortab. I also have set up my bed on the couch. I have a sectional, so I've set up shop in the corner so I can prop myself up a little bit, and it's been great. I'm still too nervous to lay flat in bed. Mostly cause I'm a side sleeper and don't want to hurt myself.

Who can sleep when my life is changing in less than 12 hours. WOW!

Neither did I. I couldn't. Not a wink. Then I had a 3 hr drive to the hospital.
