3 days out!

i've been home for 24 hours and I'm thrilled to say i've had few problems.  I just ate some really runny mashed potato with some unflavored protein powder.  not the tastiest thing, but it's a new artform. 

Hope everyone who had surgery this week is doing well!

Welcome home and good luck!!!!  3 more days for me....

Had my surgery the same day and doing well.  One nasty question, are you having any problem keeping food "in" ?  I eat or drink, and within an hour or two I'm in the bathroom, and not to go potty.  I'm assuming it's pretty normal since I basically haven't had any solid food for almost 3 weeks.  ??? 

Karirb,

It means you aren't taking small and enough sips - think of droplet sizes.  At this point you shouldn't be up chucking.  Another thought would be - what are you trying to eat/drink?  My Dr. still has my on my liquids only diet - I've found even on that scale there are some liquids I tolerate and others I don't.

Hang in there - it is all trial and error - u do need to work on not running to the bathroom otherwise you'll get dehydrated and that in no fun!!

i have been really lucky on that front.  i did start out drinking liquids with a baby spoon - only a spoonful at a time.  maybe that would help you out.   i didn't have a pre-op liquid diet, but right now i'm almost all liquids and some puree. 

hopefully things calm down on your end.
