i was just curious about everyones post op diet the paper they gave me said Clear Liquids for two days then a full liquid diet for a total of one week. then a blenderized diet for one week like mashed potatoes, applsauce, oatmeal, eggs, ect.....then at two weeks a soft diet like noodles,fork mashed vegetables, cheese, tuna ect.... stay on that for two weeks then at four weeks do the normal diet. i seen some people on liquid diets for weeks so i was just seeing what everyone is doing

Well, I wish I had read my post op instructions better. I could have sworn it said that I was to only have clear liquids and Protein shakes for the first 4 weeks. After 2 weeks of that, I was starving, so I started adding Tomato Soup to the mix. The whole time I thought I was cheating. After 2 yrs, I re-read my instructions for the heck of it. It said "Full liquids" to include: yogurt, cream Soups, applesauce and pudding. I was literally starving to death! And that whole time I felt guilty for "cheating"!

My dr's instructions were the first 4 weeks were to be full liquids (as I said above), then 1 week of soft foods (like scrambled eggs, egg salad, tuna salad, mashed potatoes, yogurt, etc), then normal foods. Never had to do mushies. Thanks God, couldn't imagine putting all of my food in a blender and actually enjoying it!

Let me tell you, those first bites of mashed potatoes were the best thing I've ever eaten! After 4 weeks of nothing but liquids! Good luck!

Mine is clear liquids 24 hours after, then full liquids for 2 weeks. (It has been 4 days) On the full liquid diet I can have soggy Cereal, thinned oatmeal, and some baby food. Then 2 weeks of soft food.
