I am only 10 days out and am already eating soft scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, and crab meat. I told my NUT when I went for my chekup the other day. The surgeon was really shocked when I got out of surgery and was able to drink my liquids right away and craved more. I have healed really well. I am trying not to go fast with my healing process but these foods are not causing me any discomfort and go down well. I have always been able to keep my fluids down since after surgery and have not had any visits to the porcline god to throw-up at all. I have always had regular bowel movements since day 3 and am urinating normally. I am taking all of my vitamins and getting all of my protein. I stated walking right after surgery too. Am I too advanced?

10 days out your stomach is not yet healed and is still swollen. You may not be able to feel that you are hurting yourself. Just because you can eat something doesn't necessarily mean you should.

Are these foods allowed so soon in the guidelines your surgeon gave you? If not, then I totally agree with WorkItOutWoman...just because you can doesn't mean you should. Even though there's a lot of variation among surgeons, I think it's important to follow the rules we are given for postop. If these foods are allowed & you are following the guidelines your surgeon gave you, then OK & more power to you.
