I am curious as to what other Doctors Post Op diet looks like. I see everyone talking about puréed food, and I don't have that on my post-op diet.

My diet seems really different than everything I'm reading. I know everyone's doctor is different, but this liquid is really starting to get to me.

I am now on my 4th week of liquids when you add the 2weeks pre-op.

I am dying to start chewing.

Just curious when everyone starts to eat food and not drink it?

Btw, below is my Post Op Diet

Day1-21

Full liquid diet

Anything that can go through a strainer.

No yogurt, Jello, pudding etc.

Day 22-42

Soft solid foods

Ground beef, chicken, turkey

Fish, egg whites

Canned chicken or tuna, deli meat thinly sliced

Creamy Peanut Butter

Cottage cheese

Canned fruit

banana

Soft cooked or canned vegetables

Well toasted breads and crackers

Yogurt

I'm on soft foods 10 days after surgery. Mashed potatoes, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt low fat, low fat sugarfree pudding, canned chicken, tuna fish, baked fish, low fat mozzarella sticks, and low fat cottage cheese, and ground meat. Small bites, chew well, and eat slowly. Good luck!

Thanks brandy73- so does that mean you didn't have to go through the puréed stage either?

3weeks liquid????

3weeks puréed????

3weeks soft foods????

I'm in 2 week increments - almost to purees!

I did the pureed for the first 2 days of my soft foods. Mashed sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, sugar free applesauce, pudding, and Greek yogurt. If at any time you have trouble with soft foods you can go back th o full liquids for a day and try again. I haven't had to do that yet. Good luck.

My is week 1 & 2 full liquids: protein shakes, cream soups(no chunks) and yogurt

Week 3-6:

Soft foods

Then i start adding in regular food. I am on week 2

My surgery is this coming Monday.

My post-op diet will be as follows:

Weeks 1 & 2 - clear liquids

Weeks 3 & 4 - full liquids

Weeks 5 & 6 - pureed

Weeks 7 & 8 - moist & mushy

Week 9 - start introducing other solids

Mine is the same as yours, only I didn't have to do a liquid diet pre op.

So I am on phase 2 liquids( strained soups, protein drinks). But are confused on how much I can drink at a time. Just to when I feel I am getting full or just a couple of ounces... Help.

It can be confusing. I just did half cups for my meals when I was on full liquids.

I am doing 8oz at a time of the soups and protein drinks, and I just sip them for around 15 minutes. I tried drinking decaf coffee and I am not able to drink more than an 2oz. So I think you will be able to tell how much of anything you can drink.

Great thanks!

Clear liquids is only in only in the hospital for me (1 night) then it's mushy puréed foods for a month then on to regular food. For the puréed food 3 protein shakes should also be consumed during the day. And then with regular food 1-2 protein shakes.
