Brown eyed girl

Just wondering how you are doing? Have not hardly heard from you post op! 

Sorry I meant brownidgirl2

Hi Anxiousgirl,

Sorry I've not taken the time to post anything..  This Wed it will be 2 weeks since my surgery, the roughest day was the day after the surgery, besides that I'm feeling really good.  I can't say I've had a lack of energy where I've had to take a nap during the day or anything like that.  I have to say I'm really following my meal plan to the T, I prepare meals for  my family .. they are amazed at how well I'm doing, however I must say I'm anxious for the purees. 

I'm doing good with my liquids, no problem drinking water, juice or milk.. nothing ever came up.  I also have some soup brooth when I feel the need for a bit of salt or a change in taste. I tried drinking one boost since surgery and I felt a bit nauseated so decided not to take anymore.

I mostly drink smoothies to get my protein which consist of greek yogurt, fruit and milk, I have no problem drinking my 3/4 cup, if I drink it fast there is a bit of discomfort for only a few seconds.

Wed I will start my purees. can't wait to see how that transition goes.  I also have not taken any pain meds since the day after surgery, I can't really complain so far everything is good.  I am also not having any problems taking my multi vitamin, chewable and a gummie Vit D.  I see Dr. Semerjian tomorrow and will be able to tell you exactly how much I've lost since surgery.

Wonderful! I can't wait to hear!

Well went to the Dr. apt yesterday.. they didn't know I had an apt, I guess the letter I received was a mistake, next apt is July 9th.

I had my first pureed meal this morning, molasses beans, I was able to eat a 1/2 cup no problems.. I was a bit nervous on to eat since ppl are all over the board as to what they can eat.

Beans were the only thing I could eat for a couple of days. I am doing better now. Pity party is finally over . I still can't get in more than 3 tablespoons at a time.

Oh God ! Beans....I hate beans...lol

I am glad you are feeling better, in no time you will be telling us it was the best thing you ever did. 

Good stuff, pity party over.. lol

I was able to eat a vegetable pureed soup with chicken for lunch, about 1/2 cup for lunch and 1/2 cup of split pea soup with ham for supper... I don't want to pu**** and I take my time.

Hopefully you will see a change soon.  Is it that you feel really really full after 3 tbsp?

Yes I feel really full after 3 tbsp. If I eat more than that I get pain. Today is my first day of solids. I just had some grapefruit and a couple of teaspoons of Kraft dinner and had no problems so  far. I am going to try some ham for supper. I am glad to finally be away from the soups/purees.

Right on.. It's a funny feeling to see food and not be able to eat it or even taste it.. but for you the wait is over.. yeah!!

Let's hope it's smooth sailing from here.
