I'll be able to start pureeing tuesday .... I bought beans and sweet potatoes and butternut squash and peppers and I'm going to make some cool pureed soups. But for real I get so full so fast !!!


Hi all

3 days since op

The Ninja is awesome! I made organic pinto bean and black bean puree and used onions, bell peppers, and some lean ground turkey and it is SOOO GOOD. The ninja makes it super smooth and easy to swallow. I bought 2 ounce and 4 ounce portion cups as well. I am currently getting full off of the 2 ounce cups and drink my protein shakes for a snack.

I would love to see some recipes.

A high fever sounds like more than just needing water. That's indicative of infection. How are your incisions?

Also, Barbie I am still adjusting too I'm so thankful the puree stage starts for me on Tuesday....

The one thing I'm loving right now is high protein fat free Greek yogurt. It's my life savor right now

Also Joann I am not a doctor but my surgeon told me if I got a fever to call him immediately or to go to the ER. Usually it means infection. So I would call your doc or on call doc!


Hi! I'm four days post op and struggling with how bored I am I try to get up to do things like walk or shower and maybe a few dishes and slowly put laundry away....but I have no energy because my clear liquid diet consist of water , soup broth and sf popsicle, I can have sf jello but I can't eat more then a few bites, so I am getting very little protein, thankfully my full liquid diet starts Tuesday and hopefully drain and staples out Wednesday! I'm looking forward to a protein shake for some energy!

Also driving I know my dr said two weeks but if your not on pain medication does anybody drive sooner?


Congratulations! I hope you have a speedy recovery. Hopefully I will get my surgery soon!

Hello everyone 6 days post Op and I'm still adjusting to liquid diet anyone else ?




Me! Getting better though everyday. I was tired of shakes so I started adding more protein to my yogurt and broth and it dissolves really well.



Also driving I know my dr said two weeks but if your not on pain medication does anybody drive sooner?



I started driving day 2 post op. I never took any pain meds once I left the hospital and that was the only stipulation for driving that I received.
