Guest guest Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I got home from my robotic heller myotomy on Wednesday and I'm doing pretty well. I was told to stick to a clear liquid diet for the first 3 days, and then if I tolerate that I can move onto a full liquid diet for another 3. Technically tomorrow is the day I can move on, but I'm already so sick of broth and clear things. My boyfriend picked me up a few things that I can start tomorrow- like boost and some pudding. I don't want to put myself in jeopardy by advancing too early, but I was wondering if you guys knew whether or not a few bites of pudding, just to feel like I'm actually eating food, would hurt me or not. I haven't taken any pain killers since last night because I think they were the reason for my nausea and I'm doing fine, not feeling sick to my stomach since. I'm still definitely sore, but the incisions are looking better each day. I don't think I've ever been so excited to eat semi-solid food in my entire life. I get to go back on June 16th for a follow-up and it's my understanding that if things look okay, I'll get to start eating real food again. The days can't pass fast enough.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 FWIW, Dr. Patti insisted I eat soft foods before I even left the hospital. This was just 24 hours after my myotomy. --Rich > > I got home from my robotic heller myotomy on Wednesday and I'm doing pretty well.
