Phase 3 diet

[jls99660 11]

I had my surgery Monday, I'm four days out and on Phase 3. I find that it is really hard to get the fluids in, depending on the time of day. My scale hasn't really budged. I've met my fluid goals (barely). Today I wanted some fresh broth, ordered Soup, strained everything out and drank that with unflavored Protein Powder. Then it dawned on me - is this allowed in Phase 3? Is it normal not to see an immediate drop on the scale?

If you are only four days out, you are still bloated. Give it at least another week.

I had surgery Wednesday and was told to stick to phase one for 2 weeks. I'm confused, how did you advance so fast.

I was on broths post surgery for 1 week. After that, i got to eat soft meats (chicken, fish, turkey, tuna), yogurts, eggs, cott cheese, Beans, fruit, cooked veg - not blended and whipped, just regular. This is for 2 months. Coming up on my 2 mo visit, when i get opened up to be able to eat raw veggies (ie, SALADS!,) and most other things. Only after 6 MONTHS can i eat grains, nuts, bread, rice, Pasta.
It all just depends on the doctor. Each ones plans are different.

I misspoke - I am on Phase 2 - basically, full liquids. The scale still hasn't moved. I see my PCP today to go on my home meds. I think I have the diet part down now and I appreciate the input. I am finding the 30 minute rest periods more important the longer I am out.

I had surgery 11/07. Came home from hospital @ stage 3. Protein Shakes, smooth liquids/soups. Struggling to get fluids in, i think i do ok, but no where near what i should be. I nap everyday. Terrible backache for 3 days. First pre-op dr. visit this morning. Looking forward to see how im doing over all. Please keep posting how you all are doing.
