I am now 14 days post op. I have been eating soft liquids/pureed meals. Mainly creamy soups, yogurt, refried beans (thinned), and of course lots of protein shakes.

I was able to complete a 5k walk today. Yay! I wasnt sure I could make it but with everyones encouragement I did it. Someone said I should train for the 1/2 marathon walk in May ??? Got me thinking. :-)

I have been ok other than this horrible itching around the areas where the steri strips used to be at about day 8. OMG! It was horrible. I thought I would rip my skin off. I tried everything and finally got some Hydrocortisone cream and 3 days of Prednisone to calm it down. It is much better now.

I definately feel more restriction in the morning. And in the evening I am hungrier. I am trying to stay on the prescribed plan and to eat very slowly. It is hard,. I think the swelling is starting to go down post op inside and I feel less restricted. I cant wait for a fill but that is in two more weeks. :-)

Tomorrow I am supposed to be able to start things like tuna with mayo etc.

:-) Its a good day!:thumbup:

good for you! Im 6 days post-op and I did 3k today. Im still sore in my belly button and the hunger pains make me very irritable. Luckly my doc advances the diet rather quickly.

It will be 3 weeks tomorrow post op, I have learned I can eat anything, but just verys small amounts, I think my swelling must have gone down too, becaue I don't feel so much restriction anymore either. The only thing I have had any problem with is the pain in the back of my neck since I woke up after surgery. It hurts only when I am doing anything like work, the pain is extremely bad half the day. Has anyone else had this problem. They tell me its the way they position your head/neck during the surgery. I hope it goes away soon
