The hopsital coordinator sent this to me today.

I found it most helpful!!

I was sleeved jan 28 in Mexico with Dr. Almanza

Ishary,

I used that as a guideline too. My surgeon has a very slow progression to solid foods. I complied for the first two weeks and then did a modified "Cornell/John Hopkins" surgery post op plan. Be very sensible, avoid raw crunchy foods too soon and keep your carb count down and you'll probably be fine. I think the Cornell plan is very easy to understand and follow and still be safe.

Thanks very much for this.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I should have gone to NY instead of MX for surgery. There is real food right away. Boo hoo for me having a strict surgeon. :thumbup:

This will be very useful when I get to the soft stuff.

Well this looks like a more reasonable plan to me. I'm going to ask my dietician tomorrow. Thanks.
