I was put on mushie foods right out of the hospital and was fine. By day 10 i could probably stomach what you ate but would not dare to put those foods in my mouth. One thing you need to know that nerves in our stomach are numb for a while so the signals we are getting might not be very reliable. You might be injuring the stomach without knowing it. U have a 11 month old so there must be some baby food around the house. My doctor is very lenient since he had me on mushie foods right away but solids are out of the question unyil my 4 th week. Any baked goods even longer. Be careful! Good luck

When does your plan move to the next phase? And what is it?

I think you need to contact your physician/nutritionist to clarify what your plan allows. Being on only mushy/puree food for almost 3 months sounds like a long time. Did they give you written guidelines? Also, are you on a PPI like Prevacid or Prilosec?

No im not on anything

You really should call your doc and explain what is going on. Many people think they are feeling hungry but it is actually acid, which Prilosec, Prevacid, etc would help. You also need to clarify your eating plan. You sound confused about your eating plan and you really need some guidance directly from the source....your doctor!

I'm concerned about how little my Dr has told me to consume...I fear dehydration, Hair loss, in ability to heal...I am 4 days post op and am home. My Dr has told me 60ml (1oz) clear Fluid every hour for the next 3 weeks...does this seem right?

In a word, no..

Are you sure he said that? Because to me that sounds crazy (sorry)

No, no, no!! That is way too little fluid!!! You need to aim for 64 oz of Fluid a day. Please call your doctor and question this. Dehydration is a bad deal!!! Best wishes!!

60 ml = 2 ounces

Call your dr.

He told me 60ml every 2 hours which means 1 oz per hour...I think it's too little too, I'm heading to the nutritionist this afternoon
