Soft foods one week post op?

[kelley5989 9]

So the Dr. says I can move on to soft foods tomorrow, the NUT says I should try to wait another week before i move on. I tried a half of a teaspoon of Greek yogurt earlier. It tasted sooo good but I cramped bad afterwards. Now I'm a little scared of moving on to soft foods tomorrow but I'm so bored with broth and Jello and freeze pops.

Did anyone else move on to soft foods just one week out?

I went to soft foods after 2 weeks, but day 2 post op was on full liquids, which includes Protein Shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese and cream Soups (campbell's 98% fat free stuff). Everyone seems to get different advice from their surgical team. But going to soft food (like chicken and tuna) after 1 week seems a little soon.

I started soft foods on week 2; i started with a small portion of mashed potatoes (dinner), a scrambled egg (breakfast), and a laughing cow cheese wedge and Tomato bisque Soup (lunch).

Yeah sorry I guess I should say mushy foods? Like yogurt, mashed potatoes, etc. dr says yes and nut says no I should wait if I can. By the cramping earlier from the yogurt I'm guessing in probably not ready

<cough>week and two days</cough>

We were running errands, the wife was hungry, and i figured i could get something soft where we went. I got chili without any of the available fixins. i only ate a few spoonfuls and took the rest home. my tummy made all kinds of noises but after half an hour I still hadn't thrown up. i started trying other soft foods after that.

if you don't tolerate something today, try again in a week.
