I'm in the uk 3 weeks post surgery and was wondering how long after surgery did anyone go back on to normal foods??? My surgery was brought forward due to a cancelation and only had a few days to get ready and was given minamal advice for after in regards to food! The booklet I was given says to start introducing food from 4-6 weeks , I know I'm ready ( only 1 week left) I have healed so well feeling really good and nothing has been a prob so far! Got quite good restriction already , I can't even finish a cup of food most dinner times!!! Thanks for everyone's advice it helps so much x

You should be eating very soft food or what I call mushies.

weeks 1-2: full liquids

week 3: pureed

week 4: mushies

week 5-6: soft foods with slow reintroduction of normal foods.

some Dr's vary greatly in diet. The above was mine for the first 6 weeks.

This is about the same schedule I was on, too.

I am in the uk too 5.5 weeks out and on the mushies from Wednesday I can go onto soft foods crackers, egg, cottage cheese then from 8 weeks normal food, getting my first fill on the 4th may do will be normal for 4 days then back on liquids for a few days.
