I have a question for those of you more than a couple months post op. My hubby and I are going on a little vacation to New Orleans in November. I will be 5 1/2 weeks out. Can you all tell me what my diet will be around then? I know everyone is different and I plan on making smart meal choices, but I was just wondering if I will be able to eat regular food, not mashed or pureed? Thanks!

I live in New Orleans. I won't lie -- food and drink is a major part of the city, and is what most tourists are really attracted to, but our music and cultural scenes are pretty awesome, too.

Have a good trip!

I wasn't off puréed food until my 6 week appointment. Even after that it was a soft food diet for another 6 weeks.

I'm 9 weeks out and have been going out with friends and my DH for about a month. I bring along a powdered Soup and get hot Water. Then I pay for an extra plate and usually take a little bit from my DH plate.

I'm still only eating about 3-4 ounces so if I do order my own meal I take most of it home and have leftovers for a few days.

You are the first person I have come across on here whose plan sounds more conservative than mine! :-)
