The paperwork from my doctor says that my post op diet will be clear liquids for a week, full liquids for a week, soft foods for a week, then adding regular foods as I tolerate them. I see others reporting that they have to do liquids for much longer and I'm wondering if my post op diet is progressing too fast. Any input from others who had a similar diet?

That was my diet and I had no problems. Some people have much less than that and are on regular food sooner. It all seems to work - do what your doctor advises and you will be fine.

I agree with brown bear. All dr's are different. My dr only does a liquid for 3 days post op! Just follow YOUR dr's advice. You'll be just fine.

I had to do five days clear liquids, five days full liquids, and five days mushies. Good luck!

I'm 13 days post op and just started soft foods today. My doctor had me on clear liquids for 2 days, then two weeks on liquids. Yours sounds fairly normal to me.

Thanks guys, I just want to be sure I'm as careful as I need to be, don't want to mess anything up!
