I am 1 week N 1 day in from my surgery, I have a question when can you eat solid food and is it normal for your incisions to be itchy??

I had a little bit if itchiness. Don't scratch your incisions though, until months after surgery - the scar tissue will be very weak after the bandages come off and is easily broken, and you don't want to risk infection.

Did your program not give you instructions for the post-operative diet?

Yes, but it doesn't say when can you eat solid food I just wanted to know

Well my instructions were week 1&2 full liquid diet week 3&4 purée foods week 5&6 soft foods *no red meat* hope this help please make sure ur pcp or surgeon approve this before doing it I'm sure everyone and every Dr is different❤

You need to wait until your surgeon releases you to move to the next phase.

Yes I would stay on the liquid phase until it is cleared by your surgeon. My surgeon allows us and encourages us to start on pureed foods 7 days post-op

Every program is different.

We start pureed food the day you leave hospital.

We don't get cleared for soft foods till we have the 2 week post op follow up.

I had mine on the 20th of april. I was sent home on a full liquid diet for week 1, week 2 pureed diet and i start soft diet in 2 days for 2 weeks. After that i can try regular textures making sure i eat slow and chew well. Also my insicions get itchy...its a good sign of healing. Be sure not to scratch to prevent infection. Try neosporin...
