I Am On The Mushies And It Is Only Day 8

[Fishes1971 4]

Had my surgery April 23. My doctor said first three days clear liquid, then Protein Shakes day 4 to 6 . Then mushies. Seems like many of you are on liquids longer? It is going down fine and I am just following the no drinking and eating rule and baby portions. Thoughts?

It varies so much! As long as you're following doctor's orders you're good.

Just follow your docs orders. Every doc is different.

does most of your doctors give you a sheet of what to eat and not eat after the surgery?

also curious as it if anyone here 'practiced' the smaller bites ahead of time so we'd be used to it by the time we get to eat solids again?

I have psych eval next appt - the 2 more appts to go and hopefully will be banded in August!!

My dr gave me sheet on what and what not to eat. I officially start my pre-op diet on Wednesday.

My first vist my dr told me to start working on smaller bites, lots of chewing and only sipping at meals. So my main focus for 3 months were those 3 things.

Yup there is a detailed list and I am following diligently ! It is working well but man I am thirsty after eating and do not like to wait to drink but I do. If you need the list let me know!

My favorite mushie meal was spaghetti sauce put in a blender and served with cottage cheese....taste a little like lasagna.....
