I'm really looking forward to soft foods bc the "sweetness" of all the yogurts/cottage cheese/pudding is killing me. I'm adding cream soups too but really can't wait to venture out. Anyone else feeling like the healing spirit s better than expected? Or am I fooling myself? Also wondering what the deal with coffee is- I went back to work yesterday as I only sit at my job and I have no pain - but I was definitely tired and would've loved a small black coffee. Have to wait until Friday to ask my docs.

Hi carla817,

It's my understanding that coffee is a diuretic and post surgery they want you off all diuretics.

Oh yeah. That makes sense.

Mine let me drink coffee a few days after I drink 2 cups a day yummy

Yummm! Glad there is hope.

How soon were you allowed soft foods like eggs or fish?

We're allow to drink decaf coffee and or tea. No cream or milk added.

How soon were you allowed soft foods like eggs or fish?

I was allowed scrambled eggs in the purée stage, which began at 3 days post op. Purees lasted 14 days and I then moved to soft proteins, which included fish.

My doctor allowed a cup of black coffee right after.
