What does your plan say? I was on full liquids at a week out. I had 3 8oz shakes a day and would sometimes have a snack of jello, pudding, or potato soup.

Ditto, I was on full liquids. I did 2 shakes a day and non chunky soup or veg broth for dinner with unflavored Protein powder added.

However programs vary. Some have a clear liquid phase week one and some go straight to purees. You should call and check your program for recommendations.

At one week I was eating three mini-meals of soft Protein and protein shakes. A mini-meal consisted of 1-2 oz of things like cottage cheese, yogurt, ground meat, deli turkey, etc. Things that were soft and I could chew to a mush. My surgeon's plan is pretty progressive. I'm now 3.5 weeks out, and feeling great!

I should add, I was on the above meal schedule starting on day 3! I certainly couldn't get even 1 oz in at a time the first few days, but it was nice to be able to chew, and have actual food at meal times.

I am 3 days post-op. I'm eating sf Jello, chicken broth, as much Water as I can stand, decaf tea, and just ordered a snow cone machine for my shaved ice treats. My grandson will be pleased!! Anyway, I am to be on Clear Liquids for two weeks, then go to stage two. I've also got popsicles, made with sugar free MIO, and other water flavors. I found the plastic tubes for these at a Kitchen Collections store at our outlet mall..Must eat slow. Really important.

My plan has clear liquids for 2 weeks (water, broth, SF jello, herbal tea - and protein powder) - then week three I start 1 soft egg per day for 1 meal - eating only as much as I can tolerate - 2-3 bites at first (using a baby/toddler spoon) - take 20 minutes to eat it slowly - stop when full and throw away any remaining egg; make a new one the next day - that's week 3 - egg week. Week four introduces soft proteins for 'at least' one meal per day (liquids with protein are for the rest)
