Hi, I'm from lower DE and as I said 19 days out. Still not sure what to expect or if I'm even doing this right. Is there anyone out there that will share some wisdom on being new?

Do what your surgeon tells you to do. What instructions were you given. At this point I was still on pureed foods. Then started introducing more solid protein after 30 days. No more than 1/2 c at a time waiting 30 minutes before drinking after a meal.

hey I understand...I'm 24 days out and still learning, but it's still scary for me as well, but I know it gets better, that's what everyone says... Al

What to expect...its hard to tell. We are all so different in this journey. Hopefully the Dr gave you instructions on what to do....some of us stayed on fluids for a few weeks, other Dr put patients on food...As Dineen says...follow the Dr's orders. Make sure you get enough protein and fluids. Right now you are early out and the fluids are very important for your health. Drink Drink Drink. Make sure you are doing your vitamins too! New is a place I would love to go back to. It was easier then. Debbie
