Pollyanna12 74 Posted April 10, 2012 Doctors all differ, Mine had me do Clear Liquids 3-4 days, then all liquids to two weeks out, then mushy foods for two weeks (the instruction here was anything i can smuch with my tounge or chew lightly), next two weeks soft foods (anything I can cut with a fork - no knives!). Then on to regular foods. So a 6 week routine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrissylu 153 Posted April 10, 2012 My doctor is in Nashville. I had 2-3 days of liquids and then i could TRY mushies. If that went okay, I could do 2-3 days of that and then TRY soft foods...and so on. my post-op diet went pretty quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowrose88 43 Posted April 10, 2012 All docs are different. My doc had me on the south beach super charged phase 1 for 14 days prior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

papoose 48 Posted April 10, 2012 Every Dr. is different. I was on liquids for 4 weeks after surgery. Then I could go back to regular food. No mushie stage for me. Before surgery I just did 1 day liquid diet the day before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
