I am curious about your doctors guidelines after surgery.

Mine:

• Clear liquids for 4 days
  
• Full liquids for 10 more days
  
• Mushies for 2 full weeks
  
• Soft foods for one more week
  

Very strict in my oppinion but I'd love you to share your doctors rules!

:tt2::thumbup::wink:

Mine were very similar, clear liquids for 11 days, mushie for another 2-3 weeks, then on to the rest of my life food. It is strict but there is a reason for it, don't want to stretch the pouch. Good luck!!

Mine was:

3 days clear liquids

1 week full liquids (cream Soups, sf yogurt, sf pudding)

1 week mushies (eggs, soft cheeses, hummus, cream of wheat/oatmeal, mashed potatoes - no meats, fruits, or veggies)

1 week soft Protein (chicken, pork, seafood, fish - no beef)

1 week soft fruits & veggies

After that, I'm allowed to add in beef and carbs/starches as tolerated.

I think mine's fairly strict as well, but I am following it to the letter. I can't wait to have some meat on Wednesday! It's been 5 weeks!!!!

Time...see thats so funny I can have meat on my blended stage, actually the first think I pureed was beef.....I got out my baby food recipes that I fed my son... when he was a baby. Yum...wonder why you can not blend the meat?

Clear liquids in the hospital

4 weeks full liquids

2 weeks mushies

2 weeks soft foods

normal food

Clear liquids the day of surgery and the day after. Then 2-3 days on each of the other phases. I was back to regular foods at 2 weeks.

.

Mine was one wk of clear liquids followed by one wk of full liquids, them mushes then reg food. Everyone's seems to be different.

Clear liquids in the hospital

Full liquids 2-3 weeks

Mushies 3-4 weeks

Then regular food

Clear liquids in hospital and first two days at home.

Full liquids for the rest of first two weeks post-op.

Mushies for two weeks.

Soft food for one week.

Time...wonder why you can not blend the meat?

It's my surgeon's opinion that, even blended, meats can be hard on your tummy with regards to digestion.

I didn't mind this past week - the list of what I COULD eat after liquids for four weeks seemed HUGE! :thumbup:

Amy

24 hrs clear, 1 week full liquids 2 weeks mushies then regular food. Your doctor does have pretty strict guidleines.

My surgeon and dietician provided me with the following guidelines:

3-5 days after surgery - liquids only (nothing thicker than paint)

1-2 weeks after surgery slowly add - low fat yogurt, tomato Soup, low fat cream Soups (no chunks), pureed or very soft fruit without skin, oatmeal, cream of wheat

2-6 weeks after surgery - low fat creamy soups with chunks, fish, chicken (processed), canned meat (tuna, chicken if packed in water), grains, rice, pastas as tolerated, slowly add tougher meats like pork or beef, fruits/vegetables (boiled or soft first). No skins, no seeds.

Now my surgeon told me that I should progress through the stages as my hunger dictates. If I'm feeling hungrier earlier, then I can proceed to the next stage.

hum, my guidelines were exactly like yours.... Go figure? Oh wait we had the same surgeon! ha ha ha

Go figure! I actually just got an email back from Jill clarifying the dates for me I was getting all confuzed...you know how they write it on that form it goes from days to weeks ... anyway maybe it was just a blond moment as my husband likes to call it :thumbup:

Jill is intense and wide eyed isn't she. They are all great.

What is the dudes name that does the camera up the nose deal... he is the one that did my fill. He was better with my sarcasm than the first time... he gets me now LOL. I told him as long as he doesn't come at me again with the scope again our relationship will be just fine from here on out. LOL.

He was suprised I was able to watch him intently without getting ill or squimish. I held the suringe a moment too. :thumbup:

I day Clear Liquids (day of surgery)

1 week liquids, soft stuff like liquid yogurts etc.
