Yay! I survived the 3 week post op liquid diet!

My surgeon's liquid post op diet is no joke. It's three weeks of liquids that can fit easily through a strainer, so no jell-o, pudding, yogurt, etc. To make it worse I hate Soup except chicken broth based, so these 3 weeks were pretty tough. It's just really strange not to chew anything. Today starts my 3 week soft food phase and I have never been so happy to have ricotta cheese in my life! I'm so glad that part is behind me!

My surgeon requires the same, but my surgery isn't for a while yet. Glad you are feeling better and getting to eat yummy things! Yay textures! lol

My surgeon's post-op liquid diet is the same except we aren't allowed Soup (other than clear broth) and it's for four weeks . . . luckily for me he gave me permission to advance to purees a week early since I was doing well. Believe me, I was SO sick of all liquids after three weeks, I was actually looking forward to pureed tuna fish! I totally get where you are coming from

I did the nothing that would fit through a strainer liquid diet for 3 weeks also. It was absolutely horrible. My problem was that I absolutely despise anything that even looks like milk. I just could not do those Protein Shakes. The last week I lived on nothing but strained Soup. I am so happy to be on soft foods now and my whole diet revolves around getting enough Protein at every meal. I feel so much better!

Oh my goodness I don't think I could have done this for another week! Since I don't like soup, chicken broth was the only thing I ate in the soup family. I'm glad you've gotten to move on too!
