Roxiaa 38 Posted October 5, 2013 I was curious about different times people start soft foods after surgery. I'm 10days out and still on full liquids.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endless80 697 Posted October 5, 2013 The general consensus is soft foods at around 3-4ish weeks. 1 DebDUtah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebDUtah 67 Posted October 5, 2013 I am 12 days out and cannot start soft until week three.....and I think the only part I will like is there is more "substance" and variety.....so tired of soup!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peggy D 124 Posted October 5, 2013 Puree after 4 weeks, soft after 6 weeks & then start introducing regular foods at 9 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RickM 1,752 Posted October 5, 2013 Pretty much immediately - scrambled eggs and yogurt (along with the typical juices and broths) in the hospital followed at home by experimenting progressively (under plan - try new things one at a time to test for tolerance) with other soft things like oatmeal, softer cheeses, progressively less strained Soups, Peanut Butter, tuna progressing to dark chicken, etc. 1 Roxiaa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The closest thing to food I had was a Protein enriched jello! And Peanut Butter? !? I still haven't been cleared for peanut butter... My biggest advice is to check with your surgeon and nutritionist... Every doctor's plan is different and can even vary from patient to patient... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
