My doctor said I can have slick and slide food after surgery with no wait period. If it slide right off a plate I can have it. Anyone else cleared that early on? Makes me nervous because so many are on liquid only at this stage.

I think that's a bit early. I am 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks puree and 2 weeks soft. Get to go on soft next Tuesday. Seems every Dr. has a different opinion, but I haven't had any problems, pain or anything so I am sticking to it.

Same here 2-2-2

Ditto on the 2-2-2. I'm glad for it, it makes me feel safer.

My regime is 1 liquid, 1 puree, 2 mushy..just starting puree now.

I am 3 weeks liquid, 2 puréed/mushy, and 2 soft

Every doctor is different!!! But I find myself staying on liquid even on purée stage just because I have to get all the vitamins in and protein... Weird but I find liquid easier then trying to figure out what the heck to purée.. And find myself more comfortable when doing protein shakes then actual eating. Also lost 37lbs in four weeks. Normal food makes me feel nasty feeling and I had three bites.

I'm with you. It's almost easier to stick to the liquids than to move to purée.

Mine is 3 days clear liquid, 3 days full liquids, 3 days purée/soft, then a bajilion days soft.
