Does anybody else have this plan:

Day before surgery: full liquids

Hospital stay: Clear Liquids

First Week: full liquids and pureed diet

2-4 Week: Soft Diet

One Month: Regular Diet

Just wondering, most of the comments I have read are different.

That is almost an impossible question because every doctor is different and has a different way for your post-op healing. I think that is why you are getting different views and opinions.

I have seen all sorts of diets, I think it depends on your surgeon and what they feel comfortable with. My surgeon requires a two week pre-op diet even, then clear liquids for 3 days prior to surgery. Post op it's clear liquids for 1 week, full liquids for two weeks, mushy/pureed for a week, then "regular" foods.

My plan was different. I spent 2 weeks at each stage and didn't began regular foods until week 8.
