I agree you are doing great. I am 3 weeks out and thought it would be impossible my first week to get everything in. I was like OMG this is my new full time job - but like Ann and Christie said it...

i used chopsticks preOp... it was a good trick for me

I eat mashed potatoes right now - usually 1oz a day - when i make them I use a real potato and mash it with greek yogurt to get protein in it. I also eat 1oz of greek yogurt with the 1oz of mashed...

Just FYI my nuts told me no red meat for 6 months as it's hard on the stomach, you might want to check with your team on this though.

Good Luck :)

I usually eat about every 4-5 hours 1-2oz at each meal... I have started using GasX chews (1 or 2) after I eat if I feel extra bloated. This might work for you, but definitely talk to your doc...

Well my doc only does surgeries on Wed so I took 2 1/2 weeks. As of right now, (Saturday) I've been off for a week and a half. I feel as though I could go back on Monday, but am glad to have the...

LOL this is the best thread I've read yet! I'm about 1 week out as well and my stomach is driving me insane. I've been using benadryl cream and then hydrocortisone. I sit around and scratch my...

So today has been the first day I have felt like getting back on here. I am 1 week out tomorrow. I was very lucky - hardly had any pain, and I mean like other than shoulder pain after the first few...

So my surgery is tomorrow. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I started everything back in January - making appointments and my six months of dietary visits for insurance. My preOp diet...

LOL A miralax prune poop bomb LOL sorry i couldn't help myself

have any of you tried Miralax? My surgeon suggested it for me. I am already using it during my preop - I have IBS and the protein shakes bind me up pretty bad. But Miralax works like a charm.

I am on the same PreOp diet. Just started this morning. Hoping it goes as well for me. Good Luck with everything!!

WOW! That's amazing... all if it - the fact that you kept from flooding to the help that you gave.
Thank you for helping... and keep safe!

I am still preOp and have already started having issues with sweetness. I found an unflavored whey isolate (because i have issues with milk) on Amazon from Now Sports, I got 5lbs for about $50. - I...

I haven't had my surgery yet. However, I am curious as to how everyone handles being thirsty while they work out and not gulping water. I am someone who chugs water during a work out session. Keep...

That's awesome!

So I am pretty excited. I am submitting my 6mo of dailies to insurance tomorrow (8/8/17). Now the 'hurry up and wait' really begins. I know I will be on pins and needles until I receive the phone...
