I had my surgery on August 4th not loving it lets say its painful on the left side and the gas they fill you with takes a while to get out of your system as I still have it I am just now able to start puree

/ soft foods .I just had some egg could only eat about half of the scrambled egg ..but just the flavor in my mouth was so awesome .

@@MrsAce I'm 5 days post op and doing well. Just trying to get my schedule of all the liquid, Protein, meds and vitamins!

[MrsAce 18]

Lacchellove- you are getting all your Protein and Water in?

[MrsAce 18]

Niki15 how long after surgery till you got to eat soft foods?

[lachellove 486]

Yes I eat Protein first and drink lots of Water. It's hard not to gulp though lol they told me no Protein Shakes. I wonder why. Do you drink that

[MrsAce 18]

Midtown sunshine! I want to put a schedule on my phones alarms to remind me of when to take my pills and drink my Protein and Water. I think I am going to need help. I think I need a get up and walk on it too.

Niki15 how long after surgery till you got to eat soft foods?

1 week after you start soft /pureed foods so today I will have scrambled egg then lunch cottage cheese then dinner refried Beans but still have to have a shake in between.

I was sleeved on 8/4/15 and I am very happy I did it, but having a few issues.

One week out I can only keep down Water. I have a problem with crushing pills. I was taking kiddie Tylenol for pain, it's extra sweet and thick and I can't believe that kids take this (I stopped taking it).

I have "spit up" or " vomited" a total of 3 times in one week on things other than Water.

And I have intense diarrhea (sorry TMI)

So... I called my doc and his office is all cool like everything is ok that's normal...

I am sorta confused...

I am going for my one week check up today and I will give him an earful.
