I haven't attended my first seminar yet. I do that next week. I know this is probably out there somewhere, but I would like to know the progression of diet until eating regular food. I know it goes from liquid to mushies to solids and that different dr.'s recommend different timelines, but what is the general amount of time for what stages? I am considering having the surgery in December because I would be off from work for several weeks. I would like to time it so that I could have some solid food for Christmas dinner or at least mushies--cornbread dressing!

2 weeks liquids, 1-2 weeks mushies, then solids. You will be able to eat cornbread dressing on the mushie stage. Hope this helps. Julie
