Some people here do have to do clears for quite some time. Why not call your doctor or nutritionist and voice your concerns. You may be able to come up with s compromise or he may give you the okay to advance. This is the person you trusted to remove a large portion of your belly. He needs to have the full picture in order to continue to monitor your care. This way you won't have any guilt either.
I started Soup two days after surgery, five days I added pudding and cottage cheese, a week after I added scrambled eggs, baked Beans, and ten days after I started on solid foods (prime rib, veggies, chicken etc, but chewed it very well). I had Pasta, rice, and everything within three weeks (where I work all meals are provided and I'm eight hours from home so I had no choice). I could never stand Protein shakes (sadly), could never find one I could tolerate, after one gulp I'd start dry heaving from the taste and texture, so that was out. I think your body will tell you what you can tolerate, we all went for ice cream two days after surgery (those that had it the same day as I did in Mexico), and it was the greatest thing in the world, and not one of us got sick, and at night we'd meet in the resturant and order the Tomato Soup with cheese in it, and oh what heaven that was. We had our nutritionist with us and she said absolutely. So good luck!
