I've been on liquids for 2 weeks now and I have my followup appt. on Wednesday. Will I hear good news and if so what's my next food choices? What was stage 2 for you?

each doctors program is different. You will probably be starting mushy foods. Things like mashed potato, thick Soup, anything soft and mushy or anything you can put into a blender and make soft.

im on mushies now, its not too bad i can eat a lot of soups cottage cheese, blended up some chili not to bad. it was just exciting to get to eat some form of real food. I am starting on my next stage Wednesday and i can eat REAL FOOD! yay

I really hope I can start mushies. I am so tired of liquids. So much so that its hard for me to get the required supplements. Now I just gotta make it through two more days. Thanks for your help.

I'm just curious. Who did you have your surgery through? Does your team include a nutritionalist or dietician? Have they provided any program for you at all to follow?

I was only given the diet for two weeks after surgery. I suspect I will get another diet plan for 2-6 weeks and then another at my 6 week appt. I was just wanting to get an idea of what to expect. I am so looking forward to something different than liquids.

I started week three today and I got to add: yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, re-fried Beans, mashed potato, lactose free milk, sugar free low calorie pudding, mashed hard boiled eggs. I think there might be one or two other things but that's pretty close. I have that for the next two weeks.

I made myself some pumpkin tofu custard, greek yogurt does down just fine and I made some vegetarian chili that I plan to puree. I tried last night but the yellow split peas weren't totally mushy yet. I also plan to do a little egg salad with yogurt instead of mayo.

Tomorrow I finish my 2nd week and go into my 3rd, I have a doctor's appointment and they will change my diet to blendables foods like beans, creamier soups, sugar free yogurt, and sugar free ice-cream along with my protein. I love soups, but I am missing the veggies that go in it. The following week its purees for me and then, finally regular food.
