Did anyone else's dr put them on puréed 24 hours after surgery? From what I'm reading most people are on liquids for two weeks. I didnt think twice about it till I started reading some recent posts about dilation and slipping. Should I go ahead and just stick with liquids?

I had to do Clear Liquids for 1 week and then full liquid, the pureed and then all food.

Regardless I would follow your own surgeon and if it is not possible see what else they have for you. Stay in close touch with them or whomever is taking care of you post op.

Good luck to you!

I agree with @@Colleen C follow what your surgeon recommends. If you are not comfortable with it, knowing that others have different protocols ask them about it.

Remember the Dr. is there for you and to take care of you and answer all your questions, don't be afraid to pick up the phone and ask your questions.

Good Luck!

I have to do four days of clear liquids, four days of full liquids, and then a week of purées. Like the two previous posters stated, ask your doctor about these concerns.

I understand how you are feeling. Everyone's post-op diet seems to be different? I was on clear liquids for the first 48 hrs only then days 3-7 liquids. Weeks 2 and 3 with be thicker liquids and smooshies. Fourth week I start solids... we just need to follow our doctors orders and listen to our band. You'll learn so much from this site though. Good luck. I'm 2 weeks post-op.
