When I was reading over my notebook that I got from my Pre-op Surgery Class, it says that I will only be on liquids for the first week after surgery and then to limited mushies for the second week and then soft foods on the 3rd week and then regular foods starting the 4th week. Does that sound right?
I have been reading other posts and websites and it seems like a lot of people are doing shakes for the 1st three weeks and dont get to solids until week 6.
Do you think it is more beneficial loss wise to do the shakes for longer? I wont get a fill until week 6. Will I be able to lose doing it my doctor's way?
