heatherscarlet 3 Posted March 12, 2013 Thank y'all for the encouragement, it's so great to hear from others post-op. It did indeed go well just dealing with the pain right now but the pain pump is a huge help. Not sure if my body is just not needing or can't handle anything but haven't been able to eat more than 1 1/2 oz of shaved Popsicle. Water and ice chips are fine just nothing with any flavoring. I know that even before the surgery I had been experiences with flavored liquids tearing me up and causing dumping. How long did it take y'all to be able to eat Jello or broth or Popsicles? I can't even stand the thought of one of the shakes from the clinic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abridgie 73 Posted March 12, 2013 I wasn't allowed anything but ice for two days then the 3rd Popsicle made me almost vomit! It was about a week so hang in there!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heatherscarlet 3 Posted March 15, 2013 I am on day 4 post op and I am soo happy to say I am eating cream of wheat (loving that) and Jello and Popsicles and some of the Protein Shake frozen. I've not had any nausea but I'm still having a lot of I guess gas pain in my stomach it's self when I drink Water. Also having hunger or what feels like hunger wondering if my PPI isn't strong enough. Took Milk of Magnesia one time at doctors orders and am determined to never take that retched medicine again. Going to try light yogurt in the morning. It's so strange thinking of foods I've eaten my whole like as being "something new and exotic to try" lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
