I am exactly 14 days out did clear liquids first 11 days then doc cleared me for purée been doing ok have no appetite off of work until mid march evade I do heavy lifting at my job boredem is starting to kick in been walking to alot to take up the time what were you eating and doing 14 days out would love suggestions also I tried cream of wheat wasn't really liking it too much any suggesting what to add to it ?

I couldn't do cream of wheat...I did blend a lot of things. but my favorite is taco bell refried beans and cheese with mild sauce ....they sell it by the can at Wal Mart and I bought the taco bell resterant sauce. and added 2% cheese. yummy. I also liked the small curd low fat cottage cheese with a little black pepper on it. Mashed avocado was a change. I blended up tortilla soup OMG it was divine. Good luck. I got to start soft foods yesterday. Its so nice to chew chew chew.

Omg I am so purée tortilla soup tonight with mashed avocado that sounds yummy cottage cheese as been my main go to thing thanks for the suggestions

I am on stage 4 and I am 15 days out. It is weird because I can eat regular foods now besides veggies and grains of course. My first 3 days were clear liquids. Stage 2 was up to 7 days at full liquids. Stage 3 soft/ purée foods at 1-2 weeks. Stage 4, solid proteins.. I can't handle a lot.. Best food for me is snow or king crab. My belly loves that! Lol.

it's so funny how each doctor is different. I was sleeved 2/11 and I have to do full liquids until 3 weeks before I start puréed. Is it sad I'm counting down the days to cream of wheat/malt o meal? lol

I know it's so weird to see when people start certain stages all so different I couldn't wait until I ate purée I was counting down the days too when I was doing clear liquids and now that I am there I still am mostly getting liquids in lol

I have to wait one week from surgery well actually from when I was discharged to move up in foods. I'm on clear liquids until Thursday then I can add eggs, refried beans, etc. I'm starting to get actual hunger here bc jello, broth, and Popsicles aren't cutting it anymore.

I feel ya on that one Susie I was the same way !!
