Thanks all

I really had no problems post-op except for the protein issue.  I'm starting week 6 now and I'm still struggling to get my 60+ grams of protein daily.  I have food sensitivities so hopefully that will resolve itself soon.  I'm really still at the puree stage.  I tried eating a bit of eggs, chicken, fish none agree.  I seem to be doing better with a vegetarian diet and things such as cottage cheese, soups.  But overall I feel great and would do it all over again.  It was the best decision I ever did. 

Best of luck. I'm on the 4th with Yelle!

Yay you!  Grats!  It sounds like you have a lot motivating this change. :)

I had my surgery with Dr Mamazza at the Civic on September 21.  The doctor and hospital staff were amazing! 

I nabbed a stack of the clear medicine cups they gave me and have found them very useful for making sure I was drinking enough the day or two after I was released.  Now I use them for one of the meds I take which I still need to grind up.  I also snagged the Beneprotein packets they gave me with my meals, I had no interest in eating the jello or anything while I was there.

I was the pain after the operation? I am extremely motivated and I know it a permanent change in my diet and life style.

do you attend group sessions? Do you have advice for me?

thanks for your kind words and I hope to meet with you one day
