    I did very well. I was discharged a day early. When I got home and went up the stairs, I had severe pain at the incision site where the stomach was removed. Dr Liao uses a stitch in the muscle to help prevent a hernia. So I opted to stay upstairs to be close to the bathroom. My husband ran the stairs to bring me Isopure, PowerAde Zero, etc. At my one week check-up, I had only gained one pound from the fluids received in the hospital. I had to use my liquid narcotic med throughout the day because I couldn't handle the super sweetness of the children's liquid Tylenol. Pain from incision site was gone about 6 days out. Switched to full liquids eight days out. Went down easy, but not very satisfying as I cannot add any fruit to them at this stage. Went to puree stage on day 15. Used canned tuna, broken with fork into small pieces mixed with lite miracle whip. Also canned chicken, also broken with fork. Mixed with lite miracle whip or nuked with turkey gray. Began soft food stage this Monday. Fixed a pot roast. Made the mistake of trying to eat the beef. (Thought it was moist enough.) Didn't settle well and came back up. Retried it again a couple of day later with gray. It was great. Also had a bit of Easter ham with pineapple juice and that was also good. I don't have a sensation of fullness, so I measure everything. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, because everything seems too easy.
    If you follow the guidelines you will be fine.
