EYE CANDY 44 Posted March 16, 2013 Will I ever enjoy food again? How long does it really take for one to get use to their new eating routine? Random question.. I'm almost 2 weeks out and can't get down liquids like I need and can only take about 2 to 3 bites of purée foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will be able to enjoy food, you won't have the hot torrid love affair that you had with it previously, but instead it will be more a casual friendship. All I can tell you about getting things down is to go very slow. Don't use straws, try to stay hydrated and not worry so much about anything else. I was on a 2-2-2 post op plan 2 weeks of liquid, 2 of puree 2 of soft. Just go slow and and be patient. liquid first, then worry about the food part. Hang in there!
