I can have them as well. The more I read on here seems like doctors are all over the board on what they do & don't allow before & after surgery. I only had to do a clear liquid diet day before surgery then nothing after midnight. I've seen some people say they can have soft & pureed foods 1 week out & some on Clear Liquids 1 week out. I can live with my doctors plan. 2 weeks of liquids including pudding & yogurt. Then weeks 3 & 4 soft & pureed foods.

I'm doing pretty good. No shoulder pain either. The hardest part of this liquid diet is it's pretty much all sweet stuff & I don't care for broth. I would kill for week 3 when I can have can chicken or tuna & I'm drooling over the thought of pintos & cheese from taco bell. lol I hate not knowing what my stomach wants. If I go to long without anything I get nauseous I've even been having some Protein drink in the middle of the night. (not sure if I should) I had 2 bites of sugar free chocolate pudding then decided I wanted one more...bad idea lol never thought I'd see the day where 3 bites of pudding(or anything for that matter) would stuff me to the point of being sick.

I personally didn't find the pain to be to terrible. I've had 3 sections and this has been much easier by far. For me the worst part of the recovery room was still feeling so heavy from the drugs. Good luck to you.

6 more laps. Should be going for upper gi soon.

So it's almost here. I couldn't be more excited. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous but for the most part I am just ready. I don't even think I have anymore questions at this point. I've done my research I know this is ging to be a hard journey but so ready for it. I am sick & tired of carrying around the weigh of an extra person. Hoping to find a few friends on here to help in this journey & maybe help them too.

March 27th!!!!!!! Tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats & good luck. MIne is scheduled for tuesday (so excited) My doctor told me no caffine the reason being we will be working so hard to stay hydrated & caffine is a diuretic which means it makes you lose water quicker. Hope that helps.
