October Sleevers

I had surgery Oct 10. Today is the 1st day I feel better. I am really wanting to eat some solid food. I did a 2 week full liquid diet before surgery. I am struggling today.

O wow! I was told I would be on a liquid diet before & a few days after. I hope you get to eat solid food soon!

I am staying as strong as possible. One thing that has given me a big boost....I put on my wedding rings today. I have not been able to wear them in a long time. It's the small things that count right now.

It depends on the doctor you use as to how long they want you on the liquid diet before surgery. But I believe the post diet is almost the same for everyone.

I had my surgery on the 11th and today the 14th I am back to work!! The post-op diet isn't all that bad!! I see food everywhere I turn and it takes a lot of will power not pick a chip out of my daughter's hand and eat it, but I just go grab a popcicle and eat that instead!! I get full and the urge to eat anything else goes away!! But hang in there, if I can do it, you can do it!! I have no will power whatsoever, but I am not going through this just to throw it all away!!

I had surgery in Oct 4th. I did a liquid diet for one week prior. I am finishing up my full liquid diet. At 2 wks. I can start 2 wks of puréed food. From everything I have seen we all have to slowly graduate to Whole Foods so we don't tear up our stomach & let it heal well. It's like everything else, we get what we put into it. I think the pain from over doing it will be a great motivator. Best of luck to all of you!

I had my surgery on the 10th as well. Today is the also the day I feel some what normal. I will be on Clear Liquids till Monday... I see my surgeon and NUT for my one week post op.

The best advise I can give is take baby steps and sip all day long if you have to. It has been a physiological struggle for me as well. I had to remind myself constantly why I went through this. So please stay positive

Katoya34, just a suggestion about the Protein. I have been drinking Protein shakes every day & have not had a problem with keeping the grams up. I have been using Six Star whey Protein mix, vanilla flavored. One scoop in some milk gives me 30 grams/ day. I am drinking 2 a day now. Just an idea, of coarse u should check with your nutritionist or doctor if it's not on your list. I buy mine at Walmart.

I had my surgery on the 5th. I felt ok physically, but emotionally I was a mess for a few days. I didn't realize how much i depended on food to take away feelings. When I finally surrendered I felt better. I still get hungry, but I am trying to figure out ways to satisfy my hunger. I'm not going to lie...this,was very hard for me. I'll be off full liquid on Wednesday. Can't wait to have some scrambled eggs and oatmeal
