mysterymachine Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Im on day 16 of the post op and haven't cheated once but it sure is hard. I'm dying to have cottage cheese, or applesauce or pudding or anything with more texture than soup. It was easier when i started the soup phase but its just gotten me hungrier lately! Anyone else want to vent? hahaha :

mommyrkr Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Hey Dave, I feel your pain. I want something with some texture soooooo bad. But I am counting down. I have made it this far doing everthing perfect, so I am not about to waste all my hard work. Yesterday was my daughters fifth birthday. No cake, no dinner, nothing but pea soup. It was hard. Becki
LoriBecky Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Have a fudgesicle ! I figured its the same consitency of the protein shakes and it made me feel ohhhh so much better Get the no sugar added ones!
ClaireinCO Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 I'm 14 days out and I totally know what you mean! I told my husband, it's not that I'm hungry, I'm texture starved! I just want to chew something. Today I has some thinned out mashed potatoes and soup with some veggies bits. It's all very soft, and borderline drinkable so I don't think I'm putting myself at risk. The chunks didn't even require chewing, just a smooshing around with your tongue. Even that helped me so much. I know it isn't an approved method at this stage. But I needed something thicker to feel more full and satisfied.
MandyHotz Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 I have FOREVER on liquids...thought I would join the board. My surgery was 10/3 and I am even more nervous now than before the surgery. Scared it wont work mainly...trying to keep my head up, while eating popsicles :-) http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/3;1...fc32/weight.png
plj Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 Odd, I'm on day 8, and I've had babyfood, applesauce, watered down mashed potatoes with cheese broccoli, odwalla superfood, odwalla vanilla protein drink. The babyfood is great! I just make sure it is all mashed really, really well. The doc told me I could have anything that might go through a straw, but NOT to use a straw. I just water it down or puree it in a blender. I can't wait till I can remove my surgery tape!!
plj Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 May I ask why you have surgery tape? I have surgery tape over my disolving stitches.... seems normal to me... The surgery was only 8 days ago. I did get to remove most of it tonight!
