[Magnifi8 0]

All of these "survival tips" for the early post-op phase is so helpful... taking notes as I've gotten approved for a referral yesterday by my primary dr. Excited/nervous/anxious/and a little scared all at once but looking forward to this journey to better me.

I'm 4 days post op, and decided today to switch to "full liquids". The Clear Liquids only was really getting old fast, and when I accidentally ate a blueberry yesterday morning packing my son's lunch it went down well. So I had a Protein Shake for breakfast and added sugar free Creamer to my coffee. So far so good. My first post-op appointment with the surgeon isn't until next Thursday, and I expect I'll be doing soft foods by then too.
