Typical Post Op Diet????

I feel so blessed by my doctor's instructions. I would also second to keep to what your doctor has instructed...as I know you will...and it does seem like a LONG time...but..I know you can make it!

My doctor instructed me to gradually go through the stages every few days. Of course he said the recommended time period is a week with each stage; however, he told me that if I was getting all things down through each stage that I did not have to stay on each stage for the whole week. He said two to three days at each stage is good...and then move one to the next stage. I was eating pretty much anything by the sixth day after surgery.

I have yet to hear about anyone else eating solid food that quickly...but it worked for me. I was very careful in selecting my food and chewing it up nicely...and always making certain it was doused with sauce or liquid of some sort.

I have done exceptionally well with my eating...and I am so glad I am one of the very blessed ones that I can eat anything.

I do know that time will pass and you will be able to eat again!!! Keep your chin up! Praying for you!
