January Surgeries

Jlmckee great list too. I was wondering if they would let me bring my own PJ's? I have a ton of paperwork and info from my hospital and docs but curiously enough nothing about what to bring to the hospital.

When I was going to the hospital, they told me no pj's due to the pain bulbs, pain pump, and iv hooked up..its,easier to access with their gowns..cosmetically you can bring all the things that you normally use. I.didn't use half thd things I brought. I was either sleeping or walking around. I was there 1 night, so it went fast...PACK LITE

Hi lady! I did have a stuck issue with a deviled egg. My plan was never to puree but instead chew to a puree'd consistency...well, eggs are a mental roadblock for me to begin with as I have always needed toast as it's companion. So mentally, I wanted to rush the egg along. The last bite was swallowed and immediately "stuck"...so I sat and waited for it to pass then realized maybe it wouldn't and stood over the toilet for a few minutes both dreading and hoping it would come up. The feeling passed in less than ten minutes, but it was miserable. For me, it's hard to dress up an egg. I have done scrambled eggs twice without physical problems.

chew.chew.chew

I have learned quickly that what may have worked for you yesterday, may give you a different affect today...

Aren't you only three weeks out? My diet is still puréed and 2oz per meal. I think you just rushed it alittle. I made a Protein Shake several days ago, but I made it really thick. I used PB2 and it was yummy. But....it was six oz. I didn't divide it up, I just drank it slow. I was sick for 5 hours. It was awful. I'll stick to 2 oz from now on. Also, what you ate, while it sound delish needs to be softer. If you puréed it first it would work. Maybe just try the egg alone. Good luck.

My doctor told me to eat scrambled eggs or egg salad during my.soft phase..I.havent had a problem. I did have a dumping experience from using strawberries in my Protein shake. I was told too much natural sugar. Not the best feeling, especially with severe left side pain...omg!!!!

Anyone?!? My surgery is Jan 6th and looking for others

How long did the process take you in Toronto from referral to surgery date? I was referred almost a month ago and I am so nervous and just want to have it done. I am sick of being like this!
