surgery scheduled June 28

[MsGonzales. 3]

Hello - I had surgery on 6/27/2017. However, I ran into some complications. Damage to vocal cords - still can't talk, see an ENT July 19. Taking antibiotics for ear infection that just came out of the blue. Then when they took took my drainage tube out on July 3rd, the next day my abdominal wounds started getting red. I am now on antibiotics for wound infection. Definitely not what I planned when getting this surgery, but still think in the long run it will be worth it.
Weight:
5/1/17 on first appointment: 330
6/1/17 - 321
6/27/17 - Date of surgery - 314
7/6/7 - 308

Oh no! One thing after another. I hope and pray that you your healing process goes smoother and that your dr visits are good news.

I had mine 6/29! Would love to be a part of a support group on here!

Well we could make this thread our mini support group. I'm not sure how we'd start an official group here. But I'd be more than happy to share my story - issues and success for others and to encourage others.

I'm scheduled for June 28th just started pre op diet today

How are things going for you?

[Csteinman75 12]

Things are going very well. I am getting all my liquids in and Vitamins. I'm also hitting the Protein requirements via Protein Drinks. I use whey isolate from integrated supplements comes in vanilla and chocolate. I use fairlife fat free milk which adds another 13 grams of protein so that's a plus. I've been drinking a lot of crystal light. Looking forward to purée Foods. Tonight I had a piece of chicken kale sausage I chewed it really well and it went down fine. I think that if you just chew your food and stick to very little portion like 1-2 ounces it's fine you shouldn't have any issues when you get to the eating stage. I also have had applesauce no added sugar and that went down well. Let's see oh I bought these little packets of guacamole from dole they come in a 2 ounce portion cup that was great. With a V8 low sodium. I try to drink a V8 everyday for the potassium. I had low potassium for some reason so I have that and I add half a banana to my Protein Shakes.

I started puréed foods on Thursday. It's been wonderful to not feel like I'm starving! [emoji23][emoji23]

I'm looking forward to the pureed foods. I have enjoyed the roasted red pepper and Tomato Soup with a little bit of Protein Powder thrown in for for a little extra. Chewing sounds like it would be an amazing thing!
