Phases question

[MagnoliaRose 7]

Hi! I’ve lurked for a week or now. I finally got the courage to post.

I have a question about the eating phases that you all were told to follow. My SD was on 12/14. I am on full liquid diet for a total of five weeks (protein shakes, blended Soups, oatmeal, yogurt, SF Jello, SF popsicles, applesauce,etc. ) all only 1/4 cup at a time. I’m concerned that I will begin solid foods without a real transition to solids. Also, I am having a hard time with drinking Water, Protein Shakes and eating. It’s a juggling mess right now. Can’t get it all in. What were you told to eat and when? Do you have any sample schedules that you can share?

I had surgery on 12/11- and I am still on all liquid- strained soups/broths - Protein Shakes and water-crystal light. Ivan have sf popsicles-but I'm always cold so I haven't had any of those. I will go to soft-puréed food after my Dr appointment on January 5. I was told my first real food will be eggs! Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply! I can’t wait to eat something that isn’t a liquid or hasn’t been puréed.

As always follow your doctors orders and the meal plan he/she provides to you. But my meal plan looked like this:

3 days- Clear Liquids

1.5 weeks- full liquids

2-3 weeks- pureed

4-5 weeks- soft solids

10+ weeks- regular diet
