Just a quick question about the post op diet with Garcia-- Are you following his post op diet? I needed more structure then what was provided in the paperwork. I do want to clarify that I did follow his plan for the first 5 weeks for the food progression but then changed it up. I didnt like the idea of all the carbs and stuff. Im just curious about everyone else.

Yes I am following the weeks, I will probably be on puree for at least two, but I am not following the food selections per se. I am not doing any of the carbs, I wouldn't have room for my protein which I am only eating. No veggies either, I am sure as time goes on I will also be able to get in some veggies.

I'm just using it as a guideline along with other physician food plans that other members have posted. I try to really limit carbs, keep calories right now according to Dr Garcia 600-700, and lots of protein and liquids.
