Does anyone else have to follow the direction of a nutritionist? I know I can't move to the next phase of the diet until I meet with one once I have my surgery.

Yes, I see my nutritionist tomorrow and I get to start purée foods. I'm so happy! I've been on liquids for 5 weeks now. Two weeks preop and three weeks postop.

I had to see a dietician as well. Twice already actually. Luckily I only had to do the liquid diet today and can start on pureed foods as soon as I come home.

I hear you have to each phase after surgery. Good luck.
