Saw the dietician today and this is what they gave me for post op diet: just wanted to see if this is what you all are doing

Clear and Full Liquids for two weeks: including strained broth, low fat cream soups, cream of wheat, skim milk, light yogurt, diluted juice, tomato juice, popsicles, crrystal light, jello, pudding, carnation instant breakfast, protein shakes

THEN: Pureed/Very soft foods for two weeks

THEN : Soft foods, for two weeks,

I guess then that would put me at six weeks and on to regular food, but she said to add food one thing at a time so that if something doesn't sit well, I'll know what it might be.

How does this all sound normal?

I feel like I'm going to be a grouch for the 6 weeks!

Oh and also! This she said is really important:

HAVE ONLY 1 CUP TOTAL FOOD PER MEAL 3 TIMES A DAY,

For instance:

1 large scrambled egg

1/4 hot cereal

1/4 sugar free yogurt

1/4 light canned fruit===all equals a cup

I feel like I'm going to be starving! Did any of you find this?

Luckily I didn't have that restriction on food.

Good luck!

My post op was very similar. You'll manage, each week you get to move to a new phase and that helps.

I was on a similar diet. When I went in for my two week check up the doctor told me that I could resume my regular eating at three weeks. He won't give me my first fill for six weeks. I did NOT resume my regular eating (I wish he would not have told me that). I am on fish, tuna, cottage cheese, soups etc. I am not bored with the food and I WANT to lose weight while I am waiting for my first fill.

sounds about right...and YES! I'm starving. Can't wait to get my first fill!!!
