 Yay!  What are you taking in besides liquids (like water)?

I have these little 2oz condiment cups that I fill with Premiere ready to drink protein shakes.  I sip on one of those for about 30 minutes, and sip water in between and afterwards.  I just finished a sugar free popsicle, but I think I ate it too fast.  My stomach is really talking and doesn't seem too happy.  Maybe I should wait on the cold stuff.

How about you?  I'll be on a liquid diet for 3 weeks, then soft foods for 2 more months.

 I'm not required to be on the liquid for any specific amount of time. When I came home the doctor said to stay on soft pured foods (baby food-like consistency like yogurt, apple sauce, cream of wheat, cottage cheese, oatmeal, etc.). When I see him next week I'm pretty sure he'll give the go ahead for something more solid like eggs but I"m not sure.  For now though, I seriously only eat apple sauce (like 2 tablespoons 3 times a day) and I tried a teaspoon or two of yogurt today to see how it sits. Today I haven't had any Zofran (anti nausea) and I'm feeling pretty good.  But I woke up with some gas and a good bowel movement.  This seems to be my new morning pattern.  

I'll find out more about what he expects me to eat when I see the doc for the post op.  

How are you today?

 I'm glad to hear you're doing better. When you're up to talk, call me. Hugs!
