I am one week and a day out from surgery (July 16). I have been feeling really great - other than serious gas (got better when I stopped the pain meds)! I was moved to a full liquid diet today and had a really yummy breakfast. 1/4 cup of Cream of Wheat mixed with 1/4 cup of sugar free pudding (Dulce de Leche), but I could not eat it all. I could never imagine not being able to eat 1/2 a cup of food!
