Surgery went well. I got to add a bit of greek yogurt today, which was wonderful! I'm uploading another video, but I'm not sure how often I'll do them. I feel funny. I guess I'll get used to it. How are you making out? Added my chewable Calcium today. Will take my Vitamins tonight with my 6:00 meal. Didn't want to do them on an empty stomach, so shifted the times. I'm using Celebrate Vitamins. The orange calcium isn't too bad...crossing my fingers I can tolerate the multi's tonight!

Dude, I can't wait to add yogurt- still on shakes and Water for another 9 days ugh. Not vits till then either. But I feel funny too, not quite right- but so much better than last week. I think getting to the pureed stage, losing the incisions Patches, and being able to sleep on my side- that will be the end of the worst of it for me! I also want to quit the pain and nauseau meds but I'm afraid of how bad it might be!

I could sleep on my left side about 2 days ago, my right is still a wee tender, but I'm off the meds....and seemed to slide from pain to hurt/uncomfortable today. I turned a corner! I have a class this week to talk about stage 3/4 foods next. pureed foods, here I come!

By the way, the multi-vitamins...blech/taste wise, but I coat my tongue in yogurt first to dull the taste. It's fine. They'll help keep me healthy, so I'll deal until I use these up and try a different flavor.

That is smart!

My surgery was on August 4th, so almost a week out! Everything is going as expected. I have been able to manage the pain with just Tylenol and nausea with a zofran a couple of times. There's the gas.... I'm working on getting in the Protein during this liquid phase, but I realized the other day that it was just as important to how I was feeling to make sure I was staying hydrated and just keep getting liquids in me. I woke up yesterday really feeling woozy and dehydrated. Luckily I can tolerate Water, sf Jello, G2, and some veggie broth I made in advance and froze.

I am able to move around a bit while my energy levels are building. I'm just trying to be patient with myself and keep those "what the F*&#%K did I do to myself" moments in check.

Nhope! Fabulous. Glad to hear you're doing well...just keep on going, one step at at time. I'm 10 days out now, and the amount of energy I have today as opposed to five days ago surprises me! I don't wear down as quickly. Your name and PA reminds me of a nearby town called New Hope!
