JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted April 4, 2013 Just my thoughts... you say you are on Liquid/mushy stage, for me they were two distinct stages, weeks apart. I moved to pureed foods two weeks after starting full liquids and mushy foods two weeks after that. My NUT told me, "if you have to chew, it' s not for you" during pureed. She stressed that my stomach needs to heal and I need to let it by not progressing until told to. You will get as many different answers and thoughts on this as there are doctors, try and do what your NUT instructed until you can reach her. You don't want to progress too quickly, you can hold off. It is in your best interest to do what you were instructed. Good luck and congratulations on your surgery and loss so far!!
