Well done! 

yes I am hoping for 6 to 8 weeks off

when I first asked Dr Sampath he said 3 weeks and 3 weeks light duty

my job is quite pyhsical and I do not want to go back to soon.. plus it is a production line so I can not just up and leave if need be.. so I would really like to be sure of how the eating changes are tolerated...

thanks for all you replies!

and so glad to hear that all is going well!

Hi Jayna

Yes i have tried out the liquid diet for a few days

I am seeing everybody! lol Nooshin, Robyn, Dr Sampath and the sleep Dr on Thursday

so I will be asking about adding some greek yougurt..

it wasnt bad.. mind u I only did it for a couple days.. two weeks might be totally different..

well and it will be more than two weeks cause that is what we are on for  a while after also...

Good luck to you surgery twin!!!!!!!  You'll have to come look for me in the hospital if you get a chance (I'll send you a PM with my full name so you can find me).  I can't believe that it's here already!!!!!

Lots of walking is good, but like someone else said,  you will probably have the funny things on your legs.  Making sure to move your feet/ankles/legs around while you're lying in bed is also good to help prevent the clots.

 My Dr had me off for six weeks and it was perfect. I felt great after about two weeks but getting used to eating was a challenge. By the time six weeks were up I was totally ready to go back and had a good idea of what my diet would be like from then on, and it hasn't changed much since. I did experience the effects of not chewing enough, eatiing a little too much, and eating too fast during that time and I am glad it was while I was off work lol. It gave me a good idea of what to expect. I quickly learned from those mistakes and haven't had any problems at all. Take as much time as you can, you will be glad you did.
All the best to you!
Cheers,
