Well today is another day and I am still full of gas taking gas-x to help it move slowly. I don't have a way to measure my Water intake and a couple small spoon fulls of oatmeal' date=' applesauce, and a Premier Protein shake. I have walked up and down my block once and can't do anymore because no one is here to go with me. I have been using my heating pad to help to move the gas around. I am already thinking what have I done. But what I know deep in my heart is troubles don't last always!!!![/quote']

Maybe scaling back to full liquids only for a little bit until you get past this might help?? Hope you're feeling better soon!

Every doctor is different' date=' even different doctors in the same practice. My surgeon's post-op plan is stricter than most & I was on Clear Liquids only for the first week post-op. I'm now in the next phase of clear liquids & 3 Protein Shakes a day for 3 weeks. Then it is on to pureed foods for two weeks, then soft foods for the next two weeks. At week 9 I get to introduce solid foods.[/quote']

I get to introduce solid foods at 6 weeks but only soft foods that can be cut with a fork. Then it'sa gradually process of introducing foods and seeing how I react. Have just found out that pureed tuna Mayonnaise is not one of the foods I can tolerate yet.

That sounds nice. I'm not allowed porridge yet but can try it with readybrek.

Why are you not allowed porridge oats? They are the same as readybreak, my diet sheet on purree says really runny wheatabix porridge or readybreak for Breakfast, all these different diets lol !

Today has been the best day yet since surgery 8/29 went for a short walk this morn, a walk around the grocery story with my best friend to help her ( which oddly barely bothered me at all!!)

And then a 40 min walk back and forth on my street..

. Able to extend the time between pain meds from the 4-6 hours on the bottle to about 7-9 hours between. Got in two full Protein shakes, a Popsicle, 8 oz of strained out cream of chicken mushroom Soup which was yummy and soothing.. And an additional 24 oz of Water....

Getting a bit more hydration each day less gas pressure and the milk in the cream Soup and the Protein Shakes really seemed to lesson the acid reflux thing...

That's been the worst part for me... The pressure thing and the acid reflux... Never had a problem with either before surgery... Otherwise I actually feel pretty *normal* ... Had to remind myself to not dance around the house so much...Lol!

How's everyone else from last week feeling???

Maybe that's me getting it wrong.

I need some feedback. how long post op was anyone on liquid diet before they changed to soft or pureed foods? I noticed that some have that are already eating soft foods after a couple days.

Allowed soft once home from the hospital which for me was one day post op

Hang in there Mocha. It's worth it when the scale moves. Maybe going back to liquids for a few days will help?

[chrissythemoo 34]

Anyone got any idea if this flaming burping ever stops? Every meal and every drink has me burping for ages.

[nyorker 67]

2 weeks as of tomorrow today had 2 meatballs puree in mothers Tomato sauce. It was like eating sloppy joe. Wasn't bad but watching the kids stuff the meatballs with linguini pissed me off lol. I used to eat 2 large platefuls with maybe 8 meatballs lol. So i have 4 spoon fools and my stomach was getting pissed chest started to hurt so i stopped.

Hey embersfallen, I am doing well. The gas is gone and I am eating purred foods and drinking a lot more Water. I was having an issue with having a bm but thanks to milk of mag. everything seems to be good. I want to find out if I can go back to taking my Fiber everyday like I use and it kept me regular. That gas x is the best!!!
