10 days post op

Well it's Thanksgiving and all I can have is broth and G2 but hopefully it will get better. I am thankful the surgery was successful with not alot of nausea or pain. I know this is just a stage and when I can start having real food will feel better but this is so hard right here during Thanksgiving. Anyone else fresh out of surgery 1-2 weeks?

I had surgery 9/21. I've opted out of all Thanksgiving celebrations. I am enjoying the quiet day and a delicious dinner of Premier Protein and broth.  Plenty of time for turkey in the future.

I had mine on the 17th of this month so I am right there with you.  I cooked whole meal for my two girls today but couldn't eat any.  But I have been so nauseous and all that I haven't even wanted food.  I cant wait till I at least feel a little normal again.  I didn't realize it would be so hard.  But looks like it will take time to get where I want and need to be.  Maybe we can encourage one another.

I had mine on the 19th so I also opted out of the Thanksgiving celebration.  I am also very thankful for so many things, one of them being having an understanding family that allowed me to stay home and enjoy a day of peace and quiet while they all enjoyed the food portion of the holiday.  :)  

Nobody pureed anything from dinner? I figured at level 2 diet on Saturday I'd be thrilled to puree some ham and broccoli for like a soup thing... I keep coming onto here to see what people did for today's  meal 

I had my surgery on Nov 18th. We chose not to cook at home this year and I sent my fiance and the kids to his dads for the meal. I am on full liquids right now so tomato soup is my new favorite. Had that today and my protein shakes.

I had mine on the same day as you. I had a bit of mashed potatoes thinned with fat free gravy, and some super steamed carrots mashed very well. Followed by a protein shake about an hour or so after. 

It was kind of hard being around so much food, but I also knew my body could not tolerate it at all. My nutritionist said if I puree turkey very fine I can try it. So I may make a turkey salad out of leftovers today to try it.

I had RNY on 11/21 (last Friday). I really didn't miss the 2000+ calories that I have probably consumed each Thanksgiving in the past. Yesterday was protein supplements as usual. I am thankful to have received this opportunity, and there's always next year. I did go to my post-op today and had Greek yogurt for dinner tonight. Sure tasted good. I'm not going to miss anything. I have had enough food for one person thus far, and now need to save some for the rest of the world. Good luck in your journey!

I started my 3rd week post op on Friday :)

I am also 10 says post-op and on liquids. Thanksgiving I had a little pureed soup. then had a little more later. that was it. Honestly wasnt that bad being around the food. Havent even felt well enough to think about eating at that point. I am just now starting to countdown the days to mushy food.
