I'm six weeks out and tried to eat an omelette this morning and now I'm laying on the couch asking God to take this pain away. Help!!!!

My surgeons plan doesn’t even allow solid foods until 3 months out. These posts give me hope because we have 1 week of clear, 3 weeks of liquid, 2 weeks of puréed and 3 weeks of soft. I need to ask about it because every other plan I see moves along faster, as tolerated.

I am sure the puréed and soft stage is much better than the liquid. I will be ready for an egg by then, and I’m not even a big fan of eggs! LoL

I have learned everyone’s doc is different Cuz mine said clear liquids the first 2 days after surgery then I can switch to just liquids and could have cream soups... it’s a bit confusing but I’m trying to just go with the flow of things I had my surgery on the 30th and I’m having a hard time with the protein

Mine is clear liquids for three days then I can add 3 protein shakes a day. How many ozs a day did your Dr ask you to consume? The crazy thing though I don't feel hungry.

He wanted me to drink at least 64 oz of liquids I had half of a protein drink yesterday and but mainly water gatorade and popsicles

I've stuck with tea, water and added protein today. Haven't been a fan of the broth. Whens ur post op. Mine is on the 9th. Dont know what to expect. My Dr doesn't seem like he gives out as much info as others.

Mine is actually Friday the 9th as well and will see how it goes I still have a lil pain in my left shoulder I keep reading its trapped gas but not really sure... I don’t really have any regrets yet I’m just trying to make it work... Do u like jello? I made my own with half apple juice half water it was pretty good... or try the broth with a lil lemon or lime juice cream of chicken is really good too

I tried the jello in the hospital. Didn't bro well with it so I stopped trying. No shoulder pain. Just in my chest. Dont know if I'm doing to myself when I drink but I get it when I'm not drinking so idk. Ill have to ask my Dr. I really like my tea and protein shakes. I ordered some awesome ones from this site.

Mine is 2 weeks of liquids getting in 60grams of protein shakes per day, that 2 pre made premier protein and 64oz of water. Then at 2 weeks we can have soft proteins but supposed to have 2 shakes and one soft meal. I started soft protein on day 5 I couldn’t wait. I’ve been trying different things here and there with no problems so far.

My Dr wants 3 cuz I have a lot of muscle we don't want to lose. I drank 95 oz which seemed like a lot but I still felt dehydrated.

My doc had my on 2 days of clear liquids then the “full liquids “ for 10 days .. I liked being able to get back to my protein drinks (I’m allergic to dairy so I’m using the one I’ve used for years) then after that the puréed stage for 2 weeks then “ soft chopped moist foods” for 3 weeks the back to regular food... March 19th lol they have it all planned for us. They say that if we don’t do well on the next step to go back a step and slowly add something from the next step.

I like using the boxed butternut squash soup with a scoop of my protein powder mixed in.. I also put my crushed pill/supplements in it. Works well.

i see my doc on Monday as I need to go back to work Tuesday and need his ok. Several people that work in the program said they were able to go back that soon but use lunch time as a nap lol

we did this!!! Woohoo ?

A friend of mine said he went back to work after two weeks.
