sillygirlee 3 Posted March 16, 2013 I was told by my Dr. If you eat anything thicker than milk before 21 days you could get in big trouble!! I remember his face just before heading to surgery... He told me a patient of his ate a yogurt and it got stuck. It wouldn't move and oozed through her stitches! She had to be re-admitted, got an infection, ended up in ICU for a month!!! That was enough for me to not push it! I'm only 6 days post op, but I am dreaming about the day I can have oatmeal and scrambled eggs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wls4me 163 Posted March 16, 2013 It's on my list for after day 15. Any soft ground meat. And it's on the suggestion list from my NUT. I had 2 weeks of liquids now soft foods. Everyone's doctors and NUTs have different plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bvl 11 Posted March 16, 2013 It's on my list for after day 15. Any soft ground meat. And it's on the suggestion list from my NUT. I had 2 weeks of liquids now soft foods. Everyone's doctors and NUTs have different plans. I've questioned these differences in nutrition plans from the start. It's the same procedure universally - why do the diet plans vary so much? I am only allowed soft foods beginning on day 21, and no meat of any kind until day 48. BTW, I'm not questioning or challenging anyone's plan VS mine - I'd just love meatball a week from now instead of five weeks. #pitypartyforone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiffy0485 123 Posted March 16, 2013 Well my surgeon and dietician cleared soft foods such as lean meats at 2 weeks as well. Every doctor is different so don't let anyone tell you that you can't eat a meatball 2 weeks out. If your stomach can stand it then it is yours to eat. I ate my first piece of chicken 2 weeks out and a meatball 3.. It's all about what your body can take at this point. I eat any Protein now at 5 weeks. The only things I can't eat are raw veggies, breads and pastas at this point. My salad will be in 3 more weeks which is very exciting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
