    Anybody Else Cheating?

    5wks out today and after wk 4 I was told by my dr I could eat anything I want as long as it is mush before I swallow. To wait til 7wks out before I try lettuce and salads. Every dr has their own plan and each is different. I was on cream soup day after surgery. Soft foods after 9 days.

    Protein Shots

    Walmart carries whey protein shots. 42g and have different flavors. I use them. Just one a day. But they dont taste all that great but I can stomach them better than the protein shakes!
  14. I slept in a recliner for the first weeks. The sitting up in bed wasn't happening lol. Even after I started sleeping in bed I had to "roll" out!

    Walmart has whey protein shots that have 42g of protein per 3.8 oz. They're really sweet and tart but I can tolerate them. The shakes gag me now!

    Anybody Else Cheating?

    I'm 4 wks out and on whatever I want to eat as long as its mush before I swallow. Rough couple days! It seems like solid food sits like rocks in my stomach. Hope this feeling doesn't last long

    Driving Right After Surgery?

    Pre-Surgery Migraine Sufferers?

    I've suffered with migraines for yrs. After surgery on 11-4-13 I've had 2 small headaches. Before surgery I took excedrin migraine. I didn't want prescription drugs as long as the excedrin was working. Little over 4 wks out and I'm amazed at the difference. I was scared I would have to be put on prescription meds due to no more nsaids!
  21. I had surgery 11-4-13. I'm 4 wks out as of yesterday. I work in a nursing home. Went back to work after 3 wks. I'm on solids now but it feels heavy in my stomach when I eat, plus my stomach kinda cramps up when I eat. No more antiemetics or pain meds!
