Surgery scheduled for Monday and I am beyond scared

see Im hoping this gets easier ands and shouldn't even try other things yet. .I can do puree but the thought kills me

My doctor has a specific protocol; 2 weeks full liquids, 2 weeks purees, 2 weeks soft foods, then everything as tolerated. I had no issues with any foods I tried. I think the 2 weeks full liquids provided sufficient time for things to heal so eating was never painful or uncomfortable for me. I've tolerated everything I've tried. I've been a very compliant patient and just had an easy time of it.

Went for my 1st preop appt today and after 9 days I've lost 15lbs!

@@Peace Love & Sleeve - That's terrific! Are you feeling any better?

I am second day post op...my first full day home. I can tolerate the stomach sore Ness but I am have extreme (what I think is) gas pain. Its pain that travels up and through my right breast and usually resulting in a burp. Every sip causes this reaction. It sux. When does this gas reside??

I would say a couple days. .. it's all from your surgery.

I still get bubbles all the way up. .when I drink water even. ..I take a pill in the morning which helps but I am hoping this goes away. I can hear it out loud

Well I'd rather hear it than feel it. It's very painful. I'm hanging in there. Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it.

I'm 10 days and still can't keep any protein shakes in. .I can't stand them. I tried eggs today and could not keep them down. it's hard for my to think I'll eat normal again someday

@@Peace Love & Sleeve - It's a little early to eat eggs. As for the protein shakes, I found most of them far too sickly sweet. Initially I would water them down and load them up with ice. It took much longer to drink them, but I could at least tolerate them. Finally I found unflavored protein powder by Isopure. I can mix that with yogurt or even soups/broth.

I had cream of wheat for breakfast 3tsps and I couldn't keep it down today

@@Peace Love & Sleeve - Are you supposed to be eating that at 10 days out? I was on liquids for 2 weeks before things like cream of wheat were allowed. You tummy is still healing. It may not be ready to handle that. What did your nutritionist recommend? Did they give you a list of foods to eat?

I'm 4days out and I'm still on liquids and broths. I can't handle more than 2 ounces at a time. I do wish I could chew something solid but I know I cant. Next week is my post op appointment. I'll be doing soft liquids or possibly pureed foods. I wonder be able to eat solids until after my 3rd week out.
