Just curious about everyone's post-op diet. What were your stages and how long were you on each?

1st week -- Liquids

2nd week -- Full Liquids

3rd and 4th week -- will be Pureed

Week 1: Clear Liquids

Week 2: full liquids

Week 3: puréed

Week 4: puréed

Week 5: soft

I'm on Week 4 but it's still a struggle so I'm still doing a lot of full liquids.

3 weeks liquid

3 weeks puréed

Rest will be solid foods introduced one at a time.

Please let me know how you find the whole puréed phase. I'm struggling, so I'm just curious.

On the flip side, feel free to tell me it's none of my business if you wish.

2 days clear liquids

2 weeks full liquids

2 weeks mushies (purée)

4 weeks soft solids

Then finally everything. So I can't really have all foods for a good 2 months. Sigh.

1 day liquids

2 weeks mushies

Once I hit day 15 it was back to solid foods that I could tolerate, which so far has been everything I've attempted.

I'm jealous of you guys who get to have solids so soon! I'd kill someone for a piece of turkey lunch meat or a string cheese! Lol
