My doctor told me week 2. But is it a week after the surgery ( I had mine Last Tuesday) or is it the week after you started clear liquids ( I started last Thursday)?

Thank you

I went through Kaiser and they said full liquids on day 4. I started today- day 5. And let me just say how delicious my protein shake tastes!

I had 2 weeks of clear, 2 weeks of full and 2 weeks of puree -- so the answer I would give is week 3.

I always had an Iron stomach, but I do attribute some of my fast recovery to a very strict liquid diet for the first 6 weeks.

I could start full on day 8 but I could have drinkable yogurts day 5

I was able to have protein drinks the day I got home, a week later for thinned yogurts, soups etc

My doctor told me week 2.

you should alway listen to your dr./nut about anything, when to eat, different foods, when to exercise, etc.

what one dr./nut says for one person - another dr.nut will say for another

good luck

Mine was post op day 10, but I could start as early as day 7 if I was doing well on clear liquids and felt weak/lethargic. I started on day 7.
