Thanks for posting! Great to hear how well it went for you. Hope things continue on the same smooth course and your kids are adorable. I read one post how someone was sick for 5 days and thinking gee, I hate to throw up....so your post came at just the right time.

Yes! I agree! Thanks for posting this! I am pre-op.. Surgery date is feb 7th. I am doing a lot of research and preparing myself, especially for those first weeks post-op! good luck to you and your journey!

What are you able to eat at 12 days post op?

[mdonaldf 84]

Its funny, I'm on the liquid diet, which mine allows me cream Soups and puddings and jello...but honestly I have just been drinking 2 large Protein Drinks getting 60 grams of Protein off that and crystal light with unjury unflavored Protein, getting around 80 grams a day of protein and way more than necessary. I'll have tomatoes Soup with skim milk or chicken broth once a day. Not craving any food at all. Can start puree on monday but as fast as I'm losing weight I'm not in a huge hurry.

I can drink pretty much like I could before surgery. I don't guzzle, just take nice big sips pretty much constantly.

Hope others are as successful as I have been so far. Keep waiting for a setback, hopefully it doesn't come.
