Jlmckee great list too. I was wondering if they would let me bring my own PJ's? I have a ton of paperwork and info from my hospital and docs but curiously enough nothing about what to bring to the hospital.

When I was going to the hospital, they told me no pj's due to the pain bulbs, pain pump, and iv hooked up..its,easier to access with their gowns..cosmetically you can bring all the things that you normally use. I.didn't use half thd things I brought. I was either sleeping or walking around. I was there 1 night, so it went fast...PACK LITE

Hi lady! I did have a stuck issue with a deviled egg. My plan was never to puree but instead chew to a puree'd consistency...well, eggs are a mental roadblock for me to begin with as I have always needed toast as it's companion. So mentally, I wanted to rush the egg along. The last bite was swallowed and immediately "stuck"...so I sat and waited for it to pass then realized maybe it wouldn't and stood over the toilet for a few minutes both dreading and hoping it would come up. The feeling passed in less than ten minutes, but it was miserable. For me, it's hard to dress up an egg. I have done scrambled eggs twice without physical problems.

chew.chew.chew

I have learned quickly that what may have worked for you yesterday, may give you a different affect today...

Aren't you only three weeks out? My diet is still puréed and 2oz per meal. I think you just rushed it alittle. I made a Protein Shake several days ago, but I made it really thick. I used PB2 and it was yummy. But....it was six oz. I didn't divide it up, I just drank it slow. I was sick for 5 hours. It was awful. I'll stick to 2 oz from now on. Also, what you ate, while it sound delish needs to be softer. If you puréed it first it would work. Maybe just try the egg alone. Good luck.

My doctor told me to eat scrambled eggs or egg salad during my.soft phase..I.havent had a problem. I did have a dumping experience from using strawberries in my Protein shake. I was told too much natural sugar. Not the best feeling, especially with severe left side pain...omg!!!!

Anyone?!? My surgery is Jan 6th and looking for others :)

How long did the process take you in Toronto from referral to surgery date? I was referred almost a month ago and I am so nervous and just want to have it done. I am sick of being like this!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
