Plan B Forum

a week from Monday I'm getting surgery done on my septum, My tonsils out and my Uvula re-sculpted so I'll likely be on a liquid diet for the holidays.

That's a bitch, I can empathize. Last Christmas Day I had surgery so my Christmas dinner was a bowl of oversalted broth and red and green (they were trying to make it festive, I guess) jello. Although I was on a regular diet much quicker than you will be, even though I couldn't sit down to eat for several weeks afterwards (owing to the location of the surgery )

I'm hoping I'll still be able to Eat some perogies for my x-mas eve dinner. Here's to hoping I'll be able to eat soft food by then.

I do that for every holiday.

Seriously though, that's tough mate, hope it goes smoothly for you.

unfortunately I'll be off those types of liquids.

Rough stuff hope everything goes well...

Think of it as plenty of time off, to play 'World of Warcraft'





...Com'on ya know ya wanna!

Wow, were you a big snorer Crackpot?

What is the surgery to correct, if I can be so nosy.

I found Sustegen milkshakes to be a boon when I was on a prolonged liquid diet.

Sounds like apnea? Bummer...good luck, Scooter.

Wishing you no complications, a successful result and a speedy recovery, CP.

Look at this way, CP....

It's a chance to stay in bed for a few days, and get waited on and fussed over with no one being able to expect you to do anything...

You know I have a one year old son. That ain't going to happen

Take Jim up on his offer C-P!!

Last day eating solid food for a while. I don't go in for surgery until 12:15 bit I still can't eat or drink anything after midnight. Guess I'm going to stay up late eating and drinking all I can till then

What was your last meal, Deadpot Walking?

Good luck CP!

I don't envy your post-op discomfort, which will likely be significant.

Hang in there and enjoy lots of fruit smoothies - with lots of yogurt to repopulate your gut flora. I had a lot of gut issues post-op & that's my best advice. I also recommend a daily probiotic for at least a month. I had a very strong stomach my entire life until it was messed up by anesthesia and painkillers. Apparently this is a common post-op issue.

Best of luck; get well soon!

I'm drinking my last now

I really want some Water right now

You'll be surprised how much you'll have to pee while on a drip...
