Topic: RE: First Day ON Liquid Diet
I just looked at my diet sheet and saw I can have sugarfree jello and popsicles, which sent me straight to the store. I'm glad to have them, but I'd kill for something that wasn't sweet. I guess it's been a long time since I was actually hungry, but I don't remember this hideous burning feeling. Here's an odd note though- my husband actually ate his dinner outside. I think I scared him.

I have been lucky in that I am not hungry. I am eating on schedule and basically sipping water constantly. The food in the hospital was gross, even the broth was horrid. So to be home to my own chicken broth was heaven. Before surgery on the 2 week liquids I was totally starving to death, the only way I got by was to live on s/f popcicles, the saved my life for reals. I would try that they are sweet enough to satisfy the need for sweets and they are good hydration. Yes, I am on the liquids for the next 2 weeks, then it is on to the next stage.. Right now I wanna reach the refried beans stage! lol
I hope it gets better for you & and stays good for me..

Topic: 1 week post op
HI Everyone,
Thought i would drop by and give a quick update. I am 7 days post op and feeling great. No pain, i am weak, but thats about it. I am on liquids for 2 weeks. (1 week left) My day consists of 2 protein shakes, water and low fat cream of chicken soup. Exciting isnt it.
You guys will do just fine. My only pain was gas pain the first 3 days after surgery.
As of now i am down 15lbs in 7 days!! WOOOHOOO

Surgery was on Tuesday & I got to come home today. Everything went well surgery wise, I did end up with pneumonia from the anesthesia. Mary Ann (my pouch) is doing fabu, no complications or issues. My hubby has been a trooper, he is the bestest. He had to do some of the nursing staff's duties (my personal choice) any man who will give their wife Tylenol suppositories and wipe up poopy butt is AWESOME in my book!
