hi there, at what point did you add watered down/ lose things like grits, or mashed potatoes. pudding , regular yogurt etc? did you do it when you started to get hungry again a couple weeks after surgery or later? what were the first foods you added? any other food Ideas?

I was allowed yogurt and cottage/ricotta cheese at day 15. Please note I WAS hungry before that but thems the rules.

Day 4 for me.....cream of wheat diluted with skim milk and thin creamed soups. However, your doctor should have given you post op diet instructions.

You are describing mushie foods which I was allowed at day 21. My first were mashed potatoes. I ate 2 tblsp and was so full! I had 2 weeks of mushies which were normal mushie things Like tuna, applesauce, sugar free pudding, peaches, pears, hummus and v 8 juice because there was no way I could eat mushie veggies!

I never at grits tho....
