Started pre op jan 2, surgery jan 13, supposed to be on liquids til jan 30. I am craving the foods on the next level, like cottage cheese, yogurt, etc., so I started on jan 26, 1 meal a day, along with the broth,water,jello,yucky protein shakes, and I feel better. I'm reading on this site how so many people are onto soft foods at this point I figured it wouldn't hurt. So tired of broth,water,jello and sugary sweet protein shakes.

I would follow your doctor's diet, but I was sleeved on 1/15 and could have yogurt from day 1. Those blended greek yogurts with 12g of Protein really helped. I start purees tomorrow after 2 weeks on full liquids, but again I would call your NUT or Doc and see what they say.

Started full liquids and purees on day 3, soft foods day 10, solid foods day 21. It is crazy how all of our instructions are so different.

I had surgery on Jan. 6 and my doctor told me to stay full liquids for 4 more weeks. but I been bad and had cottage cheese, homemade veg Soup

I also could have yogurt and cottage cheese the first week. Could barely get down more than a tablespoon, but I can imagine how you must feel!
