Hello - how soon did everyone get off of liquids and start eating small amounts of well chewed food? How do you add the ticker to your posts? If anyone will give step by step it would by greatly appreciated.

I believe I was cleared for full liquids at 10 days and mushies at 20 days post-op.

Re: ticker, check out the pinned threads at the top of the forum, I think either this or the pre-op forum has a thread with instructions on how to get your ticker.

I am on liquids for a full 3 weeks and mushies weeks 4-6.

By the way I am so tired of liquids.

My plan was 2 days Clear Liquids, day 3-7 full liquids and started mushies on day 8. Still on them but hope to move to soft foods at my follow-up appointment on Tuesday. My surgery was 11/19 so I am a little over two weeks out.

Hi, I am on 3 weeks full liquids then 3 weeks soft diet then regular food. Every time I feel sick of liquids I remind myself of the leak horror stories. It works!! LOL

I am learning that every plan is different. My plan is:

Day 1 Post-Op - nothing by mouth,

Day 2- clear liquids,

Day 3- Full liquids,

Days 4- 3 weeks, soft pureed foods.

After three weeks, begin to add small quantities of all foods back in, one food per week.

I also loved this plan because the "pre surgery liquid fast" was only three days. Guess you have to find the doctor with the plan you can live with!
