Yup doing cereal...have you done your NUT class yet? That's when you'll see what you can eat and cereal is at the stage after clear liquids. I'm having plain old corn flakes but on the list you have a few other choices including hot cereals.

I'm off the pain meds now. Was off about 4-5 days post-op as for vitamins we need to wait a while. I think 5-6 weeks but I need to re-read my info and it's chewable btw.

As for the medication I got for post-op it's in pill form. They gave me for pain, heartburn/reflux, constipation as well Dr.Garneau (don't know about the other Dr's) gives us a prescription for Lovenox and that's for blood clotting. You do have to inject it but not painful at all and they show you what to do in the hospital and that's for 3 weeks.

Think I answered all your questions...
Bye for now,

Hi everybody,

First of all thanks to everyone for all the good wishes...much appreciated!

So this is my second week post-op and last night was the first night I had that I slept through the night. What a difference that makes!!

Everything else is ok...difficult getting in so much water but the trick is to take a sip every 10 minutes ( as per Martine) but I am trying. I'm managing soups both just broth and creamy but I add clear broth so it's not too thick and strain it and also,,,don't forget to add the BeneProtein...lol
I'm having cereal in the morning (takes me forver to eat 1/2 a cup) very filling. I'm also doing ok on a few crackers and yogurt (greek) high protein.

I'm moving around alot more but I tire quickly...so my body tells me what to do.

So that's it for now, hope you all have a great day!!

Hugs,
Ada
