Hello all! I am going to consult my DR today, but i wanted to see what you guys have done. I'm 5 days post op and currently on full liquids. For my doctor full liquids consists of: yogurt/milk/water based protein shakes that can have fruit blended in them, skim milk, sugar free popcicles/fudgeciscles, yogurt, pudding, jello, and some cream based soups. This phase should last 1-2 weeks with my two weeks being up on 3/18. I'm currently able to drink 4 ounces of water in 15 minutes, and I think i want to call and see if I could start adding some soft foods on Thursday (1 week out). I don't want a full day's worth of soft foods, just maybe to be able to have one meal of soft. Soft foods is the next stage for me and consists of things like: baked fish, tuna, pasta cut up really small, cereal...

Has anyone else progressed that quickly out of full liquids? Did your doctor let you?

My doctor required clear liquids for 7 days, full liquids 7 days (no yoghurt), soft mushie 7 days (cottage cheese, ricotta, yoghurt), denser mushies 7 days (canned chicken/tuna), Then solids. At my first check up I asked if I could move to soft mushies (about 3 days early) the nurses response. Absolutely NOT! But you can ask your doctor the worst they can do is say no.

I got a big fat no lol I can add yogurt, but not the fish..it never hurts to ask I guess
