Hello...5 days out and Doing Well!

Congrats JaNae! Welcome and remember if you need anything we are here for you. Kelly 415/212

I am surprised you are trying real food-- too early. My surgeon did not allow any thing chewed until 6 weeks out. I ate jello, broth, soup made from baby food and chicken broth, protein shakes, for those 6 long weeks. I did not start any dumping until into my 8th week as I added soft food. My surgeon is overly cautious- but NEVER has he had a leak, infection or a death in all the hundreds of cases he has done. I have had a relatively smooth course in the past year.......exception of when I tried the WRONG things! Or ate too fast, or too much. I find I can not eat a variety at one time. Like one bite of several different things--nope-does not go down. Keep us posted.......We are proud of you!!!!!!!!!!
