June 8th - 14th : What Phase are you in Today?

[SnohoGal98296 371]

June 11th - I was 3 days Clear liquids and currently on full liquids through day 14, currently I am on day 11. Weird thing is that my Center's definition of full liquids includes SF pudding, SF smooth yogurt, plain greek yogurt, all things that seem to belong to Pureed/Smooth Foods for other programs, but classifies refried Beans and mashed potatoes as pureed foods...

I am soooo ready to try smooth / soft foods - on Day 14 my program jumps to both pureed/smooth foods and soft foods for two weeks and then regular foods (with caution of course)...

What are you eating today?

It amazes me how different each doctor treats each phase of this journey we are on. I'm now 6 weeks post op as of today. I see my surgeon on Wednesday & at that time I hope she puts me on solid foods. Right now I am on soft/pureed foods & have been since I saw her a month ago. I occasionally will "cheat" & have something more solid like a tiny piece of well steamed chicken &, as they say, chew, chew, chew. I have not had any issues with this but I don't make a habit of it. I'm more afraid of messing up my stomach which apparently is still healing. Even the NUTs have different ideas on when you can eat what. The one thing that seems true with all of us is that our new tummy's can only tolerate about 3 oz of food at a time. If you overeat you will be really really miserable for a couple of hours. I have learned to weigh & measure everything just to keep from overeating. No matter what, I'm still glad I did this.
