Can anyone explain like what they ate the first two week. My doctor has given me a list, but feel like I am going to mess up or fail!!

If you're talking about the 2 weeks after surgery, it's all liquid, no chunks of any kind. So broth, strained Soup with Protein Powder, milk, Protein Drinks, Water, and sugar-free popsicle.

What Lindsay said ....... plus plenty of sugar free Jello.

You’re really not eating anything, it’s all liquid 😹

Sorry for being a smart a$$ I just couldn’t resist.

Mashed potatoes will be for later. First 2 weeks is Clear Liquids only - anything you can see through.

Mashed potatoes will be during the puree stage starting at 3 week. HOWEVER, each program is different.

Mine is Full liquid diet Phase 2 day 1-10

yogart, cottage cheese, pureed meats (not doing) , cream of wheat, instant mashed pot, Tomato juice, ect... so thats weird that your guys is different.

That seems about right. The cream.of wheat and mashed potatoes need to be thinned out with liquid to a consistency that it will easily pour off the spoon... basically watered, well, milked, down. Think thick Soup or stew broth. You mentioned not doing the baby food meat....I don't blame you. Just make sure you're getting enough Protein though supplements and approved foods. I felt like I was eating or drinking every waking moment my first 4-6 weeks.
