Whats 3 days!?

[Emilee68 46]

So I start soft foods Monday... I'm do sick of liquids that everytime I go to drink something I literally want to spit it out. It's 3 days until soft foods.... Would it be so bad to go ahead and do a little laughing cow cheese or pudding or Jello once a day until Monday? I'm about to be 3 weeks postop and im dying over here!

You weren't able to do Jello or sf pudding? On full liquids?

[Emilee68 46]

No :( the liquids are disgusting to me now and im literally in tears

You poor thing.. Did they say why no Jello? I mean most people can have that on the clear liquid part! And pudding on full liquids.

I'm 3 weeks postop and did SF Jello and pudding from the beginning....at week 2, I did have cheddar cheese. I chewed until the cheese was liquified. it tasted so good....I'm in mushy foods now.

Stick it out if you can. You will be making and reinforcing new habits for a very, very long time now. Remind yourself this is not permanent, allow yourself to accept the discomfort and try to be OK with a decision that is not the most pleasant, but the best for you.

The little "gives" here and there have actully been big stumbles in hindsight (for me). It is worth it.

ugh, 3 days can be an eternity. Hold out if you can, but i say that if you need to take a few bites to save your sanity, i don't think 3 days will hurt you. especially with pudding and Jello. I still have 2 weeks of liquids left and it seems an eternity!
