SoonToBeThinKAT 67 Posted September 23, 2012 So I am 4 days post op(surgery date on wed 9/19) and feeling better. I still can't sleep in the bed so stuck to the couch. Still having issues wih fluids and food feeling "stuck" when trying to go down but not as bad. Just waiting to get this drain out bc I think that will help some. Hopefully I can sleep in the bed tonight:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoonToBeThinKAT 67 Posted September 23, 2012 Yeah. Day of surgery I was only able to have swabs, day after surgery I was able to have only liquids, and 2 days after I was able to have full liquids and creamed Soups.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PJ_Sleeve 45 Posted September 23, 2012 Wow! I am on "full liquids" for tnree Weeks. I had my surgery on sept 17th. I gabber to clear my next esophogram before I can even go to pureed. I cant believe how the post op diets very so much by surgeon. I am thinking maybe you may want to scale back to liquids for a couple of days and then see how you start feeling! food luck and feel better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been walking each day since I came home on Thursday. Taking all Vitamins getting Fluid in better now still not getting all the Protein in( the taste is horrible and I did taste test before) just today feeling a lil weak and woozy, maybe not getting enough of something what I'm not sure.
