Tolerating liquids/yogurt/cream soups very well one week out- maybe soft food soon?

[carla817 8]

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.

[carla817 8]

Oh yeah. That makes sense.

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

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.
