10 days Post Op

[slthompson34 3]

Hello
I’m new to this forum definitely glad I found it. Sx date 11/1 got lucky someone cancelled. Had the most pain day 2-5 but now doing a little better. The main incision for me has been itching and a little hard but overall no complaints. I was previously use to just going to the store and picking up anything now I’m
really reading labels . This is a life changing experience and journey and hope and pray that everyone gets through it and start to embracing this new healthy life style

Sounds like you are doing great so far!

I’m at soft foods eggs , tuna , chicken . After reading some post the stages are slightly different it seems as far as what can be eaten when

post-op (and even pre-op) diets are all over the place. For example, they had me on purees as soon as I left the hospital (most people do liquids for a couple of weeks before starting purees). Just follow whatever plan your clinic gave you - it could be that they have a specific plan for some particular reason...and if not, then at least you can honestly say that you've been following their plan if/when the topic comes up.

Ah yes good luck! the first few weeks were so hard, I'm a month & a half out & no matter how much I research I feel like I'm learning something new everyday still.

I'm a hardcore label reader & food weigher now, but it's nice to know what I'm putting in my body after so many years of treating my body like cr@p. It's a good experience so far
