I was

2 weeks clear liquid pre-op

2 weeks clear post- op

1 week puree

Sent from my iPhone

day 1 - clear liquids

weeks 1 - 4 full liquids

weeks 5 - 8 purees

month 2 - month 6 soft foods

Plus lots more rules about exactly what foods are allowed, how much to eat, how many meals, etc. -- the food texture part of my plan was a relatively small part of it.

Mine was:

1 week clear liquids (with a couple of exceptions)

1 week full liquids

1 week soft

1 week soft mechanical

1 week solid

Etc.

step 1 : strict liquid = 3 days post op

step 2 : Semi liquid = days 4

step 3 : purée-soft for 7 days (scrambled eggs, purée meat, purée veggies, PB.)

step 4: soft food and puree 14 days ( omelet, soft cheese, lentils, non puree minced meet, tofu)

I'm starting semi liquid with mushy Cereal, cream Soup (with Protein powder, apple sauce, yogurt)

Week 1 & 2: Protein shakes and clear liquids

Week 3 & 4: puréed food and Protein Shakes (plus drink my water)...no eggs allowed

Week 5: add in fish, Peanut Butter, Beans (mashed), and canned meat products (yum?). Can add toast and crackers as well.

Weeks 6, 7, 8: can do quite a few things but can't do beef or pork yet.

After that, eat sensibly.

Wow why is my diet getting food back in so fast when I compare to everyone?

All these different doctors so many different ways when I was staving for 2 weeks before surgery and I was getting mad reading when people said they could have vegetables if I could have had I would have been fine lol I wish all doctors follow the same guidelines it would make it easer to talk to other.

Yeah. Only a quarter piece, but toast! No regular bread though. Regular bread is too soft and doughy - that's why it has to be toasted.
