So tomorrow is my 1 month surgiversary and I'm feeling great. There's nothing I can't do at work and I'm pretty much able to take normal swallows of liquid. I started puréed food 10 days ago and nothing I've tried has bothered me.... Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, puréed tuna fish, mashed potatoes (with protein powder), edamame hummus, puréed soups, SF pudding, puréed ham salad, egg whites.... I took it very slow through this stage - Basically I just added 1 new food/day. No more than 1 tablespoon 1-2 times/ day. I am now up to two tablespoons 2-3 times/day. I had a hard time with liquids the first several days because I would be SO FULL after a tablespoon of "food" that it would take an hour or two before I could start drinking again. But now I'm back up to 64+ oz./day. Still getting most of my protein via 2 shakes/day.
I feel so blessed with my smooth recovery and I truly hope everyone can join me with their own success stories.
