I am beginning to see a lot of negativity on the forum and I do not like it lol! Be POSITIVE people!

Can It Really Hurt Me?
I was 2 days liquids, 2 days mushy, 2 days soft the regular. All doctors are different but u should do as ur sr suggested. I have not felt any discomfort eating but I know when I am full take care!

Despetate Newbie
I really think all doctors are different a d u should call yours about your post op diet because day 1 and 2 were clear liquids only for me then two days of mushy the I could introduce other foods. They told me that a month or weeks of liquids was not necessary and to just chew my foods up well. All are different!

I'm Too Picky For Liquids????

Liquid Diet=Terrifying
I think I would make an appointment with him to discuss this. I would probably throw a huge fit and tell him how much time he wasted and issues he cause by not performing the surgery the day it was scheduled. I could not imagine that happening! Stay strong, it will happen before you know it and I would call that Doctors office everyday until he gave you a new surgery date even if he said he was booked for a while I would say oh well, I was booked and you screwed it up., so I need you to work me in asap. It's your money and you should have the choice.
