My husband was 2 weeks post op, yesterday. He was down 32 pounds. He started full liquids yesterday (protein shakes, pudding, creamed soups) and his supplements. He has been off pain meds since the hospital, and all of his incisions are healing nicely. On the 26th, he starts pureed foods, and on September 23, he'll start soft foods before he is on a regular diet on October 21. It's a crazy diet, but he'll get through it. He has 7 weeks off of work.
