Just wondering if there is anyone in the area(Michigan) who had a date close to mine or anyone in general for that matter that we could help each other out along the way :-) Its getting to the last few weeks and my nerves are starting to get to me.

Yay, I finally found a Protein drink that works for me which I'm stoked about because its been a long 6 mos trying all the different brands and flavors.

Is it strange that I made sure to up my life insurance policy just in case something bad happens, for some reason I am only thinking of the bad and not the good that can come out of this! Suggestions?

Thanks!

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

2 weeks post-op today--1 more week of liquids before I can try soft food!!

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!!

I can't wait!!! Come on Tuesday!

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

Very!!

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

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!

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?

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

@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

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