Hi all, I’m looking for some advice on how long from surgery you went from liquids to mush?

I’m nine days post op, the pain has settled, but I now have terrible insomnia. It’s sometimes five or six am before I drift off. I’ve tolerated fluids well & not a single episode of vomiting. My consultant has said mush after two week, did anyone try it sooner?

Thanks in advance

No, I was on liquids three weeks post-op before going to soft mushy foods.

Blimey three weeks?! I think I’m having a totally fed up day.

I had my gastric bypass surgery on Jan 29th. I was told not to go to mush until 14 days after the date of release. So far chobani yogurt and maltomeal are what I can handle. I don't like broth or soups so I don't know what to eat.

Good luck and God bless

I switched on day 8 to purée and then 5 days later to soft foods where I am now and will be for a month or so yet. But some soft foods are better than others and I am taking my time adding in different things.

I’m 12 days post op tomorrow. I’ve stuck to my liquids & I’ve decided that tomorrow will be my last liquid day...I’m feeling good & glad I remained longer on thick liquids.
