Any recepies or suggestion , I'm 7 days post op

Have you already done the full liquids, yogurt, Soup, pudding etc. I can't keep these phases straight, as my office didn't call it mushies.

After the full liquids, I went to blenderized and pureed.........nothing to shake a stick at. Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, chicken in a blender (consistancy of peanut butter) but I added a bit of cheese and gravy to moisten it and give it some flavor.

so many yummies things

i loved ff refried beans.....mixed with some mild salsa (that i blended til smooth).....

Yes they told me to start on day 7th they didn't mention anything about blending the food :0 just yo chew chew chew I can have broil eggs tuna fish , cod , tilapia , salmon, mash potato those beens with cheese etc etc I just has tuna 1/2 can took me 25 min. To eat it all I will let you guys know how my day goes...

After pureed foods I will go to soft foods. Is this what you would call mushies?

For example at this stage I can eat steamed fish, steamed chicken, boiled broccoli or cauliflower , bean salads, cottage cheese, mashed bananas, soft boiled eggs, canned fruit, applesauce,sugar free pudding.

All the pureed and soft foods sound so good because I am on my pre op diet and cant have any of it..lol

I'll be at day 7 tomorrow but the menu you just mentioned is on MY menu for week 3 :-(

Starting tomorrow I can have puréed liquids, low sodium Soups - puréed, v8, Danon yogurt smoothies.

I'm so hungry! Lol I'm glad to be just hungry instead of hungry and writhing in gas pain.

Consult/EKG/Labs - 9/14

Starting weight -249.7

Pre-op diet - 09/24

EGD - 10/01

9lbs lost pre-op diet

Surgery - 10/04 True Results - Medical Center Dr. Reilly

17.6 lbs lost from starting weight!

I'm so confused I was on clear liquid the day and the day after the surgery then I start my protein Shakes jello yogurt etc and now the "muchy" stage until I see the doc on the 19th but I see everybody just in full liquids and feel that I'm doing it wrong I think I should call the doctor office just to double check

I'm also on the pureed food stage. I tried pureed/blended food its nasty and looks like throw up. This is what I eat.

Breakfast- 6 oz plain greek yogurt

Lunch- 2 scrambled eggs with 1 slice low fat cheese

Dinner- 2 oz of grilled tilapia with 1/2 cup of plain mashed potatoes.

If I'm hungry hours after dinner I will have 1/2 cup of 1% whipped cottage cheese

I did clear liquids for 2 days, full liquids for 2 weeks and pureed/blenderized for 1 week and am now on soft foods, introducing ground meats, going from pureed meats to finely diced etc for the next 10 days then to maitenance. It sure is nice to chew.

Mine is clear liquid first week

All liquid second week

Mushies for two weeks

Then soft foods for two weeks

I am only in clear liquid phase. I feel like I will never get to soft foods. Why are the post op diets so different?
