Confused With Post Op Diet

[ChooseToChange 19]

I was put on mushies on my day 7 post op apt. I slowly added things one by one until I started getting adventurous again with food.

By week 3 I was at about 5 bites of soft solids like fish and broiled chicken cut chicken salad size.

I am 8 months post op and I average 15 bites per solid meal and about 16 ounces when I have my shakes.

If you want some ideas for mushies and other soft foods to graduate to check out the world according to eggface blog. She is fantastic and even though I fancy myself a pretty innovative cook she is my foodie mentor. I do change some of her ingredients because I no longer use milk or soy products.

If you want to learn more tips and tricks from an 8 month-er that has learned a lot send me a message. I am also a skype coach that helps with menu planning and support via phone, skype and in person here in Tampa.

Talk to you soon!

I agree that all doctors are different. I am 11 days post-op and just started mushy food, yesterday.

I was on Clear Liquids in the hospital; day 4 - 9 post op I was on full liquid but no yogurt. I will be on the mushy food for 10 days and then I can have deli meat, ground turkey, and cheese sticks.
