ShrinkingInSeattle 13 Posted March 4, 2013 I am finding all doctors are so different. Mine had me eat a two week under 40 carb diet up until the night before surgery. Then only 2 days clear , 1 week full , and I started purée on my 9th day. And I am on 10 days out from surgery , it was feb 21. And I get to eat mush in 5 more days ....I'm seeing on here some people are on liquid for weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted March 4, 2013 Yes it is weird that doctors don't have a more uniformed approach to the post op diet.. How are you feeling? do you feel ready to progress to the next step? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrinkingInSeattle 13 Posted March 4, 2013 I'm barely doing the purée. By the time I get 2 Protein Shakes in. A little purée. I'm done for the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted March 4, 2013 That sounds about right you really need time to "build" to larger amounts just try to build up to your Protein and Water targets. And if your not ready when the next stage comes wait a few more days until your ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missjegga 12 Posted March 4, 2013 Yeah all the docs are different I was out on Clear Liquids but with Premier Protein shakes until my first post op appointment with my doc and the. Went straight to purée but I think it's important to follow my docs plan since he is the one treating me but I love reading everyone else's experiences Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosehips 121 Posted March 4, 2013 That sounds about right you really need time to "build" to larger amounts just try to build up to your Protein and Water targets. And if your not ready when the next stage comes wait a few more days until your ready. Good advice, & as long as you r satisfied with whatever small ounces you are on don't increase your portion, over time it just comes along.

ShrinkingInSeattle 13 Posted March 4, 2013 Thanx for advice. I am taking it slow. Vitamins are a lot of work to get all down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
