im 8 days post op nad hanging in there with the full liquids. i feel great when taking in the liquids ive been having stage 2 baby food semi watery its been ging down good. and when it comes to Water im amazed on how im not "sipping" im actually drinking water. i would love to go on mushy food but not sure. maybe it too soon? anyone eat mushy or solids before it was time?

thanks

i post something like this but i don not have the guts to eat mushy before time lol

anyone?

I will be 4 weeks post op on Tuesday and have been on clear liquids. Once I hit four weeks, I can start pureeds. I did cheat a bit today.. I had some potato soup. I dont know what your doctor recommends as far as when to start your next phase, but mine is strict. I'm trying hard to stick to the plan.

Every surgeon is different I was on mush week one and 4 weeks totally normal food your body will tell you what not to eat.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking of trying oatmeal tomorrow morning.

Not as thick though.

I would suggest Cream of Wheat instead of oatmeal. It really goes down easy....and so comforting. ( : I put a tiny bit of brown sugar on top. That's the only sweet I've had since surgery.

I took a bunch of kids to DC on a class field trip and I was 2 weeks post op. I introduced mushies on that trip (2 weeks earlier then doctor recommended). I did fine but I was very cautious.

My NUT told me to stay away from oatmeal for six weeks as it expands in the stomach. Try cream of wheat instead.

I'll be 2 weeks post op on Tuesday and I'm already on "normal" foods (minus crunchy things (i'm scared))

my nut said cream of wheat aand to make it very watery. I am on liquids for 2 weeks then full liquids which include cream of wheat
