It’s so interesting to see how different all the post op diets are. I had the surgery two days ago and had Clear Liquids the day after and now on the liquid diet for two weeks. Yesterday I was starving! Today I am barely eating. Everything tastes super sweet and all my options look “yuck”. How often was everyone eating and drinking at this point?

I did a week clear liquid, a week full liquids with Protein, and now I'm finishing my week of soft foods and Proteins. Sweet anything is straight out. I find myself struggling on Protein Shakes and yogurt.

2 weeks post surgery and I was dreading going to my cousin's birthday dinner tonight but this made the soft food diet so bearable! Refried Beans, queso, chicken; simple and delicious if not much to look at. Forgot a before photo. I'd never have ordered this before surgery because it wouldn't have filled me. Stopped myself before I got that terrible knot in my sternum and took home the many meals left on my plate lol.

Surgery twins! I had mine October 11th also. How are you feeling?
