Hi Margie,

It might work but I wouldn't want to take anything without Dr. R's ok.

It's really not too bad except once in awhile. I am really making

progress......I can now swallow the One Source Vitamin along with my

Actigal......two monsters down at one time!!!!!!

How are you feeling.....still hungry????? Don't forget to eat crackers.

Try Better Cheddars, they are my favorite. Eat lots of watermelon too with lots

of salt.

Love,

Genz

Margie,

I started eating watermelon 6 days post-op. Your tummy heals over the

staples in 5-7 days so I felt safe. Don't neglect eating your crackers. I ate

crackers in the hospital, they help prevent nausea and reflux. The also help

with

the need to chew. Watermelon is wonderful because it gives you substance to

chew,

fiber (when you swallow it Flo!), lots of liquid to help quinch your thirst and

a

great way to get your additional salt. It is also one of the least painful foods

to swallow at first. I eat watermelon all day long when I can find a good one.

Also try grits or cream of wheat with salt and milk. That really feels

good on the tummy too and provides you with some protein. Have fun

experimenting!!!!!!!!

Love,

Genz

Holly,

Hey, sweetie, take a deep breath and put this in perspective. I see that you

are starting to freak about all these worst case scenarios. Remember, the

majority do not have all these things happen! And, I don't think they mean

" hurt " -- probably just a new sensation. Relax sweetie and don't take

everything so to heart! You are a dear! You will do fine!

Hi Holly,

At first I experienced discomfort in swallowing anything including

water. Water especially hurt. I tried to take my meds with thicker drinks like

Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with skim milk. As time went by and I added

real food....I would have a little discomfort. It felt like an air bubble in my

tummy that had to be moved out of the way before what I swallowed would have

room. I never had problems swallowing pills before surgery...but after surgery

it was real difficult to get them down.

I'm two months post-op now and pills are no longer a problem. I still

have some discomfort with some foods but it gets better every day. Watermelon

has never been a problem. I eat anything I want now and I've only thrown up

once. It's all trial and error.

Best Wishes,

Genz
