Need help

Hi there. I'm 10 days post op and I've just about had enough of liquid diet. I feel like I need some sort of food to just feel like I'm eating.

Could anyone tell me when they started eating things like mashed potatoes after their surgery please?

Popsicles and jello!! You will eventually look back on this and laugh!

my doc has me on full liquids first 3 weeks. I'm so sick of it too. I'm allowed yogurt and Soups etc. today was my first day back at work and I ordered a Soup from a local chinese restaurant (chicken and noodle soup) told them to hold the noodles, hold the chicken lol. just had the broth...it was heaven! so good. Mainly because it was different than what I've been eating at home (home made soups i'm now sick of). i can't wait to have puree's and soft foods next week.

I feel exactly the same. I'm so sick of soup and I'm counting the days until I can eat lol. I know this is worth it but roll on puree food ????
