I long for real food.

2weeks post op. How long was it before y'all got to start eating again?

[BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 296]

I got to start on soft foods (Mostly eggs, cheese and refried beans) when I was two weeks out. I gradually added more and more every two weeks. My doc has a slow advancement of foods. I still have instructions on when to add certain foods out to 12 weeks. Most people are released to eat a "normal" diet at 6 weeks post op. It all depends on your doc/NUT. What do they have to say?

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

What does your dr require? Mine was

1st week Clear Liquids

2nd week liquids

3rd week purée

4th week mushies

5th week smushies

6th week wean into solid low carb

[HatheryOnHerWay 603]

Wow, smushies! That's a new stage I haven't heard before!

[jmarie 71]

What is smushies?

[Vixynne 695]

I'm gonna guess that mushies would be things that are a little firmer than purées, and smushies a little harder than that? I'd like to know which foods fit into the mushy/smushy categories, though!

Could you share that info with us please? I think the order of adding things back into your diet would be really important!

My doctor isn't too conservative. He has us starting with purée 2 days after surgery for 4 weeks, then regular food.< /p>
