I was amazing on my pre-surgical all-liquid diet and the “full liquid” phase post op. Not a single cheat!
The purée stage I’m in now is so much harder though. I keep thinking, “if I chew enough, anything can be considered a purée”! I haven’t physically been made to regret it yet, but I did feel super guilty when I had one of my husband’s wontons last night, for example.
I’m seeing Dr Inabnet at Mount Sinai. He’s the chair of the dept of surgery there. I also have Aetna and am basically going through the same process as kdveri. I can’t recommend Dr Inabnet enough, and the entire practice, actually, has been amazing.
