I am 8 days post op and am ashamed to admit that today I have eaten way too much. I had a bowl of cream of wheat, a half cup of pureed ravioli, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, and a whole baked potato. And not feeling any discomfort or restriction. From what I've read in other forums, it is not usual for patients to be able to comsume this much food this early on. Could someone please tell me if this is a sign of a possible complication?

I'm 3 days post-op and I'm on clear liquids for 2 weeks and full liquids for 2 weeks after that. I couldn't eat anything right now. Your first fill won't be for about 4-5 weeks, right? I would double check with our surgeon on what you can have. That seems like a lot.

I'm sorry to say but a lawyer in the US has no jurisdiction for doctors in Mexico. Same goes for law enforcement.

You will find that there are many many different post op food protocols. For instance, I was not allowed to leave hospital day after surgery until I consumed a little tuna salad & cranberry sauce. I was on soft/mushy food immediately & 4 weeks post op. On my list of mushy was ground beef in either beef broth or red sauce, even baked potato was OK as long as I mashed it with my fork. So as long as your doc is OK with the types of food you consumed I would concentrate more on keeping the quantity under control.

As for the random post about the Mexican Surgeon it was posted as an original topic a day or so ago & got numerous posts on it, including one from myself. I have no idea why it was posted here other then to get further attention. I am sorry if that sounds harsh but something just seems funky about it now that I see it tacked randomly on someone else's question/post.
