Hey everyone! I'm a but confused on the post op diets my doctors seems pretty quick and whenever I google it. I find something different! What was your post op diet like or what worked for you?

For me I spent 3 days after surgery on liquids then moves to soft foods of Jello, yogurt, puréed Soups for 2 weeks. The last 4 weeks is stage 3 soft foods like cottage cheese, eggs, tuna, soft fish, really mushy veggies and fruits, mashed potato or sweet potato. On Monday 7 weeks out I can go to normal foods but red meat, raw veggies is 6 months out.

my post op was Clear Liquids for 3 days, full liquids for about 10 days then on to a puree/softs hybrid type thing. i was on to 'what i tolerate' at about 4.5 weeks and now almost 6 wks out the only things i won't eat are the soft breads (untoasted bread, tortillas, pizza crust, etc) and stringy meats (roast beef and stead). all other foods that i have tried so far i am tolerating just great.

Liquids in the hospital (two days), purees immediately upon going home (although they said I could stay on liquids for a day or two more if I wanted). Stayed on purees for a week and was on to soft solids for a month. After that I was cleared for a general diet.
