Made it!

Hey guyyysss

 I'm at home finally!  The surgery went well, and I'm here with just a little bit of soreness... I have tolerated everything I've eaten so far, but have had some trouble caused by the barium swallow (if you know what I mean)...

Now, I am on stage 2 (smooth pureed) foods for the next month... anyone got any good ideas!? 

YAY!!! WELLCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH!!!!!!!! glad to hear everything is ok keep us posted
hugs!

Hey girl glad to see everything went ok with you. for me things went well too. I did throw up the barium swallow ..yuck.. Hey are you having any trouble getting your protein shakes in im not hungry n so afraid of throwing up again. What are you having that you like.

P.S. When you girls said the first few days would be difficult you were not kidding. Im  being as patient as I can though!!

I hated the barium, but fortunately I didn't throw it up!  They gave me some Zofran ahead of time just in case... I have hardly been able to eat very much... I drank about a fourth of my carnation instant breakfast last night and half a boiled egg for dinner (pureed).. The boiled egg though, my mom pureed it with a little bit of fat free mayo and mustard and its like a hint of egg salad, and also the low fat refried beans and low fat cheese were much tastier than I expected.  

These are tough days, but I feel like I'm healing! How do you feel? 

yay nice to see you!

YAY EXCITING STUFF! I am so stoked for you! Enjoy the decrease in your numbers...it goes by so fast! 

So glad you are home and well!!!   Enjoy this first phase and getting to know your pouch.  I know for me during the pureed stage I still had a lot of protein shakes, protein pudding...and then I would also have pureed chicken salad and pureed tuna salad.
