Im just reading so much from other peoples post op diet progression, and nothing has been as extream as what my doctor is asking. Im 1week post op, and am still on Clear liquids. Here is a time line of his phases he gave to me

1-2 week (15 days) post op - clear liquid ( week 2 incorpate protien shakes and vitiams)

3-4 week - (15 days) puree foods - and he is very strick on this stage

month 2-4 -(60 days) soft food

month 5- finaly regular food

So pretty much 5 month before regular food, just comparing to all that I've read this sounds crazy, and almost torturous! Give me your thoughts.

Did it taste bad. I'm in TX.

Really bad! But some people like it!

Keep in mind, that all doctors are different and so are the patients.... We will all hear something different.... As you move through the stages you and your doctor will figure it out what is best for you...i think he wants you to be prepare for the worse scenarios.
