I feel like I must be abnormal, because I just had my surgery on Monday and am having no problems at all eating or drinking! Spooky! I've just been following the plan for this week...breakfast 1/2 cup of cream of wheat
1/2 cup of vanilla soy milk
10am snack - 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
1 scoop of protein powder
Lunch - 1/2 cup of strained cream soup
1/2 cup sf pudding
2pm snack - 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
1 scoop protein powder
Dinner - 1/2 cup of strained cream soup
1/2 cup of low fat yogurt
8pm snack - 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
1 scoop protein powder
Am I weird to be able to eat all this? Because I'm having no problems at all with it. I'm also able to get a sf fudgebar in there too! I also drink 64 oz of crystal lite decaf ice tea in a day. I feel happy I am 3 days out and not having problems, but also I feel weird because it seems like I am able to eat a lot more than most of you did. Maybe they screwed up my pouch! lol! Well, I'm curious to see what your thoughts are.

I am glad you are feeling great. At 3 days out, I couldn't ever eat like this..I remember just sipping a few sips of broth and trying to take a few sips of protein shakes. I wasn't allowed cream of wheat or food.

No food? Wow! My doctor only has us do the clear liquid thing for 1-2 days. Then it's on to liquids the next week, then pureed the next, and soft mechanical, then soft, then it's pretty much normal/whatever you can tolerate. I think I'd be starving if I were still on broth and jello. Of course my stomach seems to be making a lot of noise...growling/grumbling/gurgling/etc. So it's hard to say if it's hunger or just my stomach processing the stuff I'm pouring in there! I do feel great though, and even though it's been a bit "soft" (I know TMI)...I have had a movement today and yesterday, which to me is a good sign that all systems are back in working order!

glad you are doing great, im guessing you had lap cuz you are home already
maybe thats the difference - i dont know

Duckie · 10-26-2006, 11:23 PM

I had a lap and could only have liquids for THREE WEEKS!

chilmoe · 11-02-2006, 01:44 PM

okay back from medicine hat

had my 8-week gastroscopy appointment yesterday, why didnt anyone tell me i could be awake during this? I wanted to not remember that appt...oh well, its over with.....had to dialate from 8 to 15, no wonder i was vomitting and got full/heavy feeling so soon, today i can drink and i can eat soft foods now without having to blend them first....yippee

i had a message that Leah (daisy) had her surgery yesterday and that i will be visiting her Friday, will keep you updated on her progress.

LisaBoston · 11-02-2006, 02:12 PM

Carrie, glad to hear the endoscope was done....and yes being at 8mm is quite small....you should find it MUCH better now.

About being awake...its a conscious sedation...(the date rape drug). Some people remember the procedure, others don't. All i remember is them asking me to roll toward the doctor and them putting in the bite guard.

What did you feel?

Daisy.....is she a Nohr patient?

chilmoe · 11-02-2006, 02:25 PM

daisy is Ferries patient here in red deer, i am going to see her friday

i remember everything - the music played, the nurses/doc talking, Barb keeping me calm and reminding me to breathe through my nose, i was gagging and spitting up a bit, i could feel it go down and then felt them pull it ALL the way out of my throat, my throat hurts today, i was awake through it all, and afterwards, finally fell asleep around midnight last night (after being awake since 4am that morning and having to drive there) then i woke at 2 this morning - and havent been able to fall asleep again, so 2 hours of sleep...they gave me a painkiller of the demerol family and i am known to get wired from demerol, but cannot take anything else really, i asked for no pain drugs but they refused to do that in case he had to dialate, they said that could be painful, so i accepted the pain drug....i feel better and can actually eat and drink much easier, so glad to have that done

how are you doing Lisa?

Sounds horrible to me. I would have been gagging everywhere. I am sorry you had to go through that experience...but glad you are dialated and can eat/drink better.
