Hello Shawn, I know exactly how you feel, I cried alot in the beginning because I didnot know what to eat I could not eat anything I just felt really lost, I had my food sheet from the hospital on what to eat at what stage, and I still felt lost, because I could not consume anything on that list but broth, even after my broth period was over and I was able to start solid foods all I could keep down was the broth and sugar free popscicles. I became very depressed and then I found other people who were going through the same thing I was going through and just getting advice from them made me feel alot better, I guess knowing I was not alone in this struggle got me through day to day. Stick with it I can only say I really does get better, I did have to get my opening to my stomach stretched open because I was having the most hard time with water and the other liquids and when they put a scope down there they said the opening to my stomach was really narrow so they used a balloon and stretched it open, and I began to feel better. I'm not sayining this to suggest anyting just wanted you to know where some of my problems came from,but that did not change what I could and could not eat my taste buds just changed after the surgery.
