Congrats on your surgery. At one month post surgery I was beginning my soft food phase. Tek was actually correct to ask what’s on your plan. Your medical team should have provided you with guidelines as to what food to be eating at each stage. If you’re on soft food now look for stews, meals from minced meats, steamed/poached fish, eggs, long cooked vegetable & meat Soups, milky porridge, etc. Nothing that requires lots of chewing or is crunchy.

It’s a lot of trial & error to see what your tummy will tolerate & what tastes ok to you. It’s not uncommon for our taste buds to change & for foods we used to enjoy to taste hideous. Go slowly. You’ll soon work out what works for you & what doesn’t. In time, you’ll be able to eat most things & they’ll all taste delicious again (for good or bad 😁).

Are you on meds for the reflux? Ask your doctor for a script for esomeprazole. I take 20mg every day. It makes a big difference.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
