I saw a post the other day that breaks down the post-Op Diet.

I can not find it.

Could someone either direct me to it or break down what we can eat.

Week 1 clear liquid

Week 2 - liquid

week3 - puree

week 4 mushies

Or something like this ?

Hi this is what my doc has me doing

Day 1-2. Clear liquids

Day 3 thru week 2 full liquid

Week 3-8 pureed diet

Week 9-12 soft solid food

Month 4 after surgery regular diet

I think all surgeon might b not b the same but this is mine.

Good luck

You need to check with your surgeon's team on this, as programs vary all over the map. For example, mine was liquids, and mushes in the hospital progressing to soft proteins as tolerated during the first month, then progressing to everything else as tolerated after that - quite a difference to Jackie's plan. Your doc is probably somewhere in between and likely something on the order of what you posted.

Most break the Post-Op diet into 4 Phases. Each doctor is different. If you know which doctor you'll have in Mexico, I'll bet someone here can chime in more.

Phase 1 - Clear Liquids (Just after surgery. Some are a week... mine was 3 days)

Phase 2 - Full Liquids / pureed (2 weeks for me. Some are 1 month)

Phase 3 - Soft foods (Anything you can mush with a fork.) (Mine is 1 month)

Phase 4 - Maintenance Phase (Normal foods introduced slowly and you are off and running a normal life) (Forever)
