According to my surgeon, he wants me to stay on liquids until I see him on Tuesday. Well, I am so WEAK!! So, I am going by the handbook that my surgeon gave me when I scheduled my surgery. It says I can start mushies on the 5th day....TODAY!! So, I have chopped up some tuna with a bit of ff mayo and dill relish. I am about to try it out and will hopefully get some good Protein in! Wish me luck!!

I hope it worked out good for you.

I ate some vegetables yesterday ... for T-day and it was as good as a steak. I am back on liquids today plus I had 3 snack crackers ... I am starved.

I am supposed to go 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks mushies, then regular food. What a long road to eating again.

Hope everything went well for you!! I am 2 weeks post op and stated mushies on Wed. But a few days before, I was so hungry I was nauseous! So i tool a 1/2 oz meatball, mixed it with some broth and ate that. It really helped a lot! But that was the only time I ate mushies until I saw the dr. Luckily, the dr said it was ok I did that. Since I got the go on mushies, I've eaten, noodles, chicken sausage, and some Thanksgiving foods. So far, everything has been fine for me.

I am supposed to wait a week as well for mushies but am soooooooooooooo weak that I am going to start today. If I get sick, then I know it was too soon. How did you do?????

It worked out well. I had about 3 ounces of tuna mixed with ff mayo and some dill relish. I chopped it up pretty well. It made me extremely full. I think I may should have stopped a few bites earlier. Now, I am having a couple of ounces of refried beans with some mild taco sauce mixed in. It made me feel much better to actually eat some protein!
