Hi all. I'm 8 days Post Op. I can't believe its been just over a week already. I am now feeling great. I had a few extra days hospital stay due to the swelling in my stomach and nausea. I've been home since Friday. I have close to no pain ( when I first got home it felt like I did too many situps) I can't believe that I had zero gas pains! When I had my c-section, the gas pains were horrible!. I have moved onto the puree stage and it is not bad at all. Just take the bites and sips slow. I lost 20 lbs. in the month before the surgery and 17 lbs since the surgery! I'm here if you have any questions or anything.

I'm leaving for the hospital at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow. Good luck to all who are having their surgery tomorrow and in the next couple of days!!

Thank you

Thanks all!

HI all, I am having surgery on October 1st. I cooked all day today in order to puree and freeze my dinners for after the surgery. I tasted everything and its 'ok' , but I'm not sure I will be able to stomach that consistency. Did anyone else have a problem eating the puree meals? If I don't like it, would it be bad if I just continued with Protein shakes until I could move to soft foods?

P.S. I make chicken Soup, lentil Soup, meatballs w/ Tomato sauce for puree.

Thanks!!

That will be the first day of the rest of our lives and I can't wait!

Hi all! I am October 1st!! I am super excited and ready for this journey! I'm getting my house, yard, etc... in order now . I'm also on the pre-op diet.

Hi all! I will be having my surgery on October 1st! I'm getting very excited. I'm glad to be here where we can support one another. I am currently on the pre-op diet consisting of 3 Protein Shakes and 1 high protein/low fat meal.
