I am so glad that nothing major happened to you

Thank you sweetheart! Me too, I was so afraid:( i feel a little better today and even shared a serving of mashed potatoes with my daughter for my dinner (we couldn't share her chicken lol.

BTW, I read a lot of you guys talking about drinking Gatorade for hydration, my doctor told me not too because there is too much sodium and will cause me to retain Water. He instructed me to drink pedialite instead. Just thought I'd share.

After I had my surgery G2 was one of the choices I had for meals on my liquid diet. Definitely follow your doctor's orders, as we have found out, every doctor's protocol is different

I kno same here it sucks when I go out with friends or certain friends it's like a waste of a drink of Water. I mean even if I manage to eat one bite of something I still have to wait that 30 mins ugh

Hey everyone- I was just poking around the pre-op threads and see you guys are talking post-op here. Jump onto the April post op Thread so we can all share. I don't think many hit the pre-op boards after surgery.

I'm enjoying my new food choices, I'm actually doing more soft foods than puréed. My problem is that I feel like I can eat more than I think I should. I know I don't do a good job of weighing my food. I just had a small Wendy's chili for lunch and I ate 1/2 of it... Is this to much?

It seems like that's a reasonable amount. My dr told me my pouch would be the size of an egg. In my mind as I prepare my food I try to get as close to what I think the egg is. I've yet to feel like I was still hungry after eating anything though.

I keep forgetting about the 30 min before and after eating:/

But on the other hand I am enjoying my food choices:) I had mashed potatoes for dinner and tomorrow I'm going to make garlic chicken salad:)

Thank you:) I love to cook. What I made for my lunch one day was I grilled some chicken tenders for my daughter....took 1 1/2 and cubed them, put them in the food processor with some lemon juice, a spoonful of avocado, lemon pepper and hit the button a few times....instant lunch and dinner...it was light but filling and tasted really good not to mention, it was pureed enough to go down really nicely
