I just got the go ahead for my "stage 3" diet and the first recommended food is to put a little grated cheese on a saltine. It has never tasted sooooo good. I"m so glad to get past those first two weeks. Now I need to ramp up my walking so I get more exercise....

Grats, I am soo looking forward to Friday after my 2 week follow-up, maybe an egg.  Although I will say Saturday night my bf was eating an omlette via egg beaters, and I took a bite smaller than the size of a dime just to chew something, was nice and helped tide me over.

I take benadry for really bad soap allergies.  Sometimes it can make me feel dizzy the next day.  It make me really have a dry mouth too.  Hope you get some answers from you doc.  That is probably the best place to ask..sounds like its probably one of the meds though..Hope you feel better soon...I have also heard on this board of people having some ear problems after this surgery  (on the main board)  don't recall why or anything like that...but I know the area that makes you feel dizzy is located in the ear I believe...(may be wrong).  Just something I read.sounds like your fluids, protein and calories are good though..about where I am.    Good  the post op is tomorrow...write down all your questions and take them in with you.. That's what I did...really helped..almost forgot a couple of my questions..

WOW, that's cool.  I hope it agrees with you -that sounds heavenly.  I start my pureed stage next Monday.  On full liquids right now.

I don't feel hungry but I WANT to eat....I smell something and it drives me wild.  I "think" I could take bigger drinks that I take but I am scared to.  I hope we get it all sorted it out soon.  I feel so lost right now.
