I Know that docs have very different timelines for food stages. I go to my follow up appt. tomorrow (9 days out) and am hoping to move on to soft foods. When were you allowed mushies?

Day 4 lol. I have 3 weeks before solids but it's pretty much whatever I can tolerate.

Week 3 for me.

Week two was mushy food for me, and now three weeks later i can eat anything my stomach tolerates (which isn't a lot lmao)

My schedule is:

Week 1 - clear liquid

Week 2 - full liquid

Week 3 - puréed

Week 4 - soft/mushy

I hope to lose a ton of weight in the first month!

My prescribed diet was

10 days Clear liquids

10 days full liquids

10 days mushies

Then slowly progress through full foods with red meats coming last.

But what I actually did was about 5days on each.

Week 1: Clear Liquids

Week 2: Full Liquids

Weeks 3-4: Puréed

Week 5-12: Soft (My current Phase)

Don;t rush it. I tried and felt awful, vomited etc. Go slow....you have the rest of your life to eat regular food.

I'd have to agree with not rushing it. I'm not one to be a "goody-goody" and I tend to push the envelope but with this stuff? No way! Having been a nurse and seeing first-hand how the risk-takers suffer was enough for me!

I know the temptation is strong. I was on here telling EVERYONE how hungry I was and on Instagram telling people I'd KILL for a toasted cheese sandwich, but I knew it wasn't worth it. So, stay the course. If your doctor feels that it's time to advance you, so be it. Until then, feel free to vent to us!!

Mine diet is:

2 days clear liquids

2 weeks full liquids

2 weeks soft/puréed foods
