1poundatatime 174 Posted March 21, 2017 Surgery was on Thursday! I'm back home (had to travel out of country) and doing well. I managed to avoid the awful gas pains I've heard about and have been tolerating fluids well. I know it's early (only day 5), but so far I'm so pleased with how things went and the overall experience. My post-op is clear fluids days 1-3, then full fluids days 4-17 before moving on to to purees, softs, then finally at day 40 normal food. My goal for the full fluids phase is 64 oz liquids and 40 gm Protein. I'm able to get in around 50 oz liquids and will be 24 gm protein today. Looking forward to what the future holds!! 3 Newme17, SleevyB and Grerchen57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
