Honesty hour: need help

Hello all!

I am 11 days post op. Everything has been going well. I have no problems getting my liquids in or any of the heavier things (like mashed potatoes) while still on stage 2. I'm still on full liquids and scheduled to go to purée stage in 4 days. I'm struggling so hard with liquids. I want to go to purée stage so bad. I'll be honest, today I had 2 things on the purée stage and just chewed it really really well. I didn't have any issues. I'm terrified about tearing stitches but it seems some people go to purée straight out hospital. Can I get some advice? Anyone been on purée stage before 15 days post op? If I make sure foods are chewed super good, is it still dangerous? I feel like such a failure asking these questions so early out

      The challenge is that we don't know what our stomach looks like, and therefore we can't be sure how advancing the food stages prematurely can affect us. Some people might say, "I did it, and I was fi

    I understand how you are feeling, I had such a hard time with liquids too! I was on full liquids for a week, puréed for 2, soft solids for 3 (im on week 2) and then will be on regular diet after this.

    Each stage has its own challenges but you will get through it.
