Paulax 8 Posted March 6, 2006 I'd love a sticky for people to share their recommended post op food plan. My surgeon, and I am still preop, suggests 30 days of Clear liquids, followed by a lead into mushy foods. Other people on this board are having Protein Drinks their first week. I PLAN to follow my doctor's advice, but it is curious that every doc seems different. What are your doc's recommendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted March 6, 2006 I started Protein drinks on day 4. Can't post the details of my menu, they're copyrighted, but I can summarize later when I have it in front of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenj 0 Posted March 6, 2006 i am 4 days post op and my doc advises liquids for 24-48 hours, but his liquids include oatmeal, applesauce, yogurt, cream of wheat etc. then next four weeks add in soft foods i.e. banana's, soft melons, fish.... i can honestly say, it has been hard trying to find something to eat that isn't sweet.... applesauce was nasty, way too sweet!

Julie* 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Here's my plan: Days 1-4: Clear Liquids Days 5-6: Full liquids Weeks 2 and 3: Mushies (cream Soups, blended stuff but a long list of what not to have) Weeks 4 and 5: Solids but a pretty restricted list to follow Week 6: First Fill and all foods 3 days after first fill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freebit 0 Posted March 8, 2006 The day after surgery I was eating yogurt and drinking apple juice (per doctors orders). Albeit, 1/2 ounce of yogurt at a time...LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
