Couple post-op q's

[sychadelic 10]

Okay, i have a couple of questions for clarification, and would appreciate input. I know there are different diets and mine is 1 clear, 2 full, 2 puree, 2 mushy.

My questions are;

Is 1% milk clear or full?

Cottage cheese is mushy or earlier? I loves me some cottage cheese!

Egg drop, which stage do you no longer have to strain it?

SF pudding, which stage?

Lastly, which stage could I add in SF cool whip to Protein drinks and puddings?

Thanks for any help guys, some of this stuff can be pretty confusing. Or maybe the drop in calories of the pre-op diet have turned my brain to mush, lol.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.

Milk is a thick liquid, small curd cottage cheese is a mushy,sf pudding is a thick liquid, I would consider egg drop Soup as a mushy because of the egg content.. and lastly sf cool whip I was using it on the thick liquids..I would use lite cool whip in moderation because the values are really not that much more than sugarfree..But be aware what ever you do keep a look at the carbs..they will sneak up on ya.

Depending on what your doctor has recommended for you. You should receive a list of what you can and can not have and at which stage. Every doc is different on how they want their patients to proceed with their diets. Mine had me on liquids for only 2 days. Day 3 - week 4 started full liquids. Which consists of cottage cheese and yogurt sf pudding, creamed Soups. Week 5-8 for me is fish, mashed potaoes anything that I can mash with a fork. Week 9 is a slow re-introduction of "regular food" So depending on what is recommended by your doctor. Just follow what your surgeon has given you as your guidelines for post op.

Hi, I was allowed sugar free puddings and skin milk during the full stage. Cottage cheese I could eat during the liquid stage if I blended it small curds. Like everyone has said each doctor has their preferences as far as the diets go. For me it was 4 days clear, one week full 1 week mushy 1 week soft and full diet at one month.

Thanks everybody for your responses. I know that everyones mileage may vary, it's just nice to have a general idea since I haven't gotten the lists yet. I have a fear of eating the wrong thing too soon and causing damage, but thanks for the help......

I'm doing pretty good, still a little tender on my left side and under my largest incision, otherwise - all good. Having a little trouble getting in my liquids, but I'm working on it. How are you doing TexasLady?
