Finally off ALL of my pain meds!!!! I am still taking the neds for spasms though. Prilosec feels like a horse lol

I started back at work this week. Today I finally got in all 60 grams of protein!!! I feel like all I do is eat/drink. Surgeon was right when he said it is like a full time job at first.

2 week post op is Friday. Hopefully they will take me off liquids then and allow me to add in purees.

I feel freaking fantastic! I keep getting compliments on how I am just "glowing" since my surgery.

I still can't believe I am on the other side. It still seems a bit surreal.

I hope ya'll are having blessed weeks!!

Each surgeon has his/her own diets and timelines for advancing. My surgeon requires 2 weeks liquids, 2-4 weeks mushies, then soft/full.

So I can't have cottage cheese until purée per my MD. Did your MD not spell out his/her expectations?

Short answer---I have to wait until my 2 week check up.

Thanks for the reply. Yes he did spell it and it's the same as your plan. I didn't know if if I was misinterpreting my full liquid requirements.

Thanks again

Hang in there...I keep telling myself this is temporary. It's only two weeks! I've enjoyed food for 33 years--a small break isn't going to kill me. Hopefully, I'll believe myself soon. LOL

Hello all,

6 days post op and after a couple of days of no pain meds I needed to go back on them tonight. I thinking because I've been doing more physical activity but wanted to get some feedback if anyone else has experienced pain coming back???

No gonna lie one week post op and I've been eating pumpkin organic Soup I don't know why I thought it was a liquid but I did and it's delicious felt so good on my belly and I didn't get a stomach ache but I can eat over 150mls in 7 mins is that normal?

I too wonder if I'm holding the proper amount. I can hold much more than expected

I just had my first none-liquid in 2.5 weeks!! <1/4 cup warm ricotta. It. Was. Amazing!!

[linzlou2000 193]

Well I had a kid size tropical smoothie for lunch...made with Splenda. Another girl that was sleeved said I shouldn't have had berries. It was blended to smithereens. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it now. N

I'm not being able to take hardly anything in at all. I'm 5 days post op. Getting concerned

[angim330 0]

I am 6 days out too and I can't take much in. I got down 12 ounces of Water, two ounces of pudding mixed in Protein, 3 tbs of Jello and a ice pop. That was today. But that is with zofran so I don't puke and two doses of Prilosec. I am concerned too. Today was better than yesterday so I'm trying to think positive!

[itstimealready 180]

Ive heard of Prilosec. I'm inly 6 days out and I can't believe how much I can hold! I can drink 8 ounces in about 15 minutes. Have never thrown up or had any pain. I hope that since I'm low BMI the surgeon didn't make my stomach larger than the usual.

I'm not saying I'm particularly hungry but a couple times I thought I might be. I had heard of people taking Prilosec because sometimes the stomach acid is making people feel like they're hungry. I've never taken anything like that so I can call my doctor but anyone know anything about that?

[perk4756 259]

Yes each day is better . Just concerned abt dehydration. Today I've at most had 1/3 cup broth and 10 oz Water two scoops of unflavored Protein and abt 1/8 cup yogurt

[angim330 0]

@perk call about the Prilosec. You should be on something after surgery to keep the acid low. I believe that I my problem. They adjusted mine up to two times a day. Hoping tomorrow is a better. I am about the same now too with liquids. We must just fall into the small amount of people who have issues with taking in the fluids

[JudeaJordon 25]

I can finish half a cup a organic Soup in about 15 minutes I stop when I'm full I'm day 11
