I'm post op day 21 and have been eating beef since the first week with no issues.

Beef wasn't allowed on my meal plan until week 7 which starts tomorrow for me. I've been so afraid of strictures and scar tissue that i've followed my surgeon's meal plan religiously.

Every surgeon is different. I was on puree on day two.

I can't have beef till week 5. ;( I'm not on pureed till the next thursday. It's hard but I'm worth it.

It sounds like your Surgeon's ideas and mine are so similar, your diet is just like mine too, I too am afraid to cheat. I'll get there soon enough. You were the day after me I think, I was 4/23.

I was on the 25. I cant wait till pureed. I would kill for some refried Beans. How crazy is that?

And if I see another food commercial I am going to scream!!

That's just head hunger girl, push past it, you'll do just fine girl. My family had KFC tonight and I thought I would really have a problem and I didn't. I'm going to eat some Greek Yogurt and have juice and my Water. We all got this. Im so proud of us all, it's hard work, but again we are worth it as you say, push on.

I had to stay 3 nights, I had swelling in my glands, and did not pass the swallow test, the first time....and I did not get to my room till so late that first day, did not walk till @ 24 hrs later..... The worst thing was those dang blood thinner shots every 4-6 hrs, had bruises all over my stomach and thighs... Pain meds were good but, made me so tired and groggy....

I'm just bored! Everything is so bland and tasteless.

I love how you said that Sparklette. That you are worth it. I'm worth it too just don't realize it sometimes. I love that attitude!

Always remember that! No matter what we are all worth it. That's why we are doing this right? Because we know that someone needs us, that there is something better for us, that we deserve more than what we have?

I just put on my work pants because I'm out of laundry and they are LOOSE! My first NSV. And I slept on my side last night! Today is a good day!
