What did your diet look like for the first six weeks after surgery?

It looked liquidly and then mushy and runny...

For the first five days were you on Clear Liquids only?

I was on liquids for three weeks, clear then full.

After that came purée like real purée not just "I chewed it until it was mushy", but in the food processor purée.

I lived

I never had a clear phase but I did have 2 weeks of a liquid diet. Then soft/mushy for the next 10 weeks.

Mine is as follows:

Day 1 & 2: Clear Liquids

Weeks 1&2: clear liquids and on day 3 start on Protein shakes 2oz 3x per day.

(I am a lot more active early on than most...back at work at 5 days, at the gym at 7 so I added Protein powder to my water)

Week 3: add in cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs and canned/soft vegetables (everything should be cut up to the size of a pencil eraser) 2oz 4x per day

Week 4: add fish, poached, baked, canned (plus anything allowed before hand)

Week 5: add lean chicken and turkey

Week 6: add lean beef

Try to get a 1/2- a gallon of Water per day

I'm 10 days out and feel great!
