I know all surgeons have different plans. I would like to know what are you allowed (were allowed for those past this stage) to have your 2nd week out.

Full liquids...

Protein shakes and water.

I'm still allowed just full liquids, which to my doc means strained Soups, cream of wheat (watered down with milk), Greek Yogurt, and SF pudding.

At my 2 week check-up, which is Tuesday, a day prior to my actual 2 week mark, I will get cleared to move to mushies. I can't wait. Liquids aren't filling me up as much as I expected them to.

Oh, and I drink Protein shakes between meals.

Full liquids for two weeks, then mushies for two weeks, then softs for one week, then what I could handle after that.

I'VE BEEN SO SO BAD. IM SUPPOSED TO BE ON PUREES AND SINCE WEDNESDAY IVE BEEN HAVING MASHED POTATOES, WENDYS CHILI,FISH AND CHICKEN BREASTS, VERY VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF EACH THING OF COURSE AND CHEWED UP TO THE POINT OF COMPLETE MUSHINESS AND IVE BEEN FINE AT ONLY 11 DAYS OUT. BUT I CHECKED MYSELF BACK INTO TRACK AND I WILL GO BACK TO MY SURGEONS RECOMMENDED DIET. CANT BELIEVE I DID THIS!!!!! BUT TIME TO RE-GROUP, GET FOCUSED AND STAY ON TRACK!

I was on clear liquids at two weeks...broth, protein mixed with water, water, gatorade, jello,popsicles all sugar free.

After 10 days post-op, I could have full liquids.

I was on purees and mushies by 2 weeks. I was eating cottage cheese, Beans, eggs, chicken, tuna and egg salad and soft fish - anything that I could mash with a fork.

I actually tried salad at 4 weeks out and it settled well. I'm so glad because I love salads of all kinds.

Thanks for your responses. I am currently on full liquids. Next Thursday will be pureeds/mushies and I am excited about that.

Kami, we are the same! My diet of full liquids is exactly what you mentioned, except I don't like yogurt and I have a SF popsicle every day. And we have the same surgery date! How are you feeling? I also have an appt with my surgeon this Tues, but I only get to advance to pureed diet then, for 2 weeks, then soft/mushies for another 2 weeks, then regular. Can't wait.

Right now, at 10 days out, I live on cream of wheat with skim milk, creamy tomato Soup, SF chocolate pudding, SF popsicles, and 2 Protein Shakes with skim milk per day. Hope this helps

I'm feeling great actually. Other than being a bit weaker than usual, I couldn't say that I feel at all like I had major surgery 10 days ago! I wish I could say that my hunger has gone away, but sadly it hasn't. It's gone down tremendously, but the head hunger has been a bit of a nuisance. I'm ok when I get sweet cravings, as I'll have some of my Calcium chews (a caramel chew with a cup of decaf french vanilla tea is yummy!) but when I get pizza or Mexican food cravings, its just downright sucky. I can't wait until I can have refried beans! And pureed chili! It will be a little tricky since I"ll be back at work starting Tuesday, but I'll figure it out.

How are you doing?
