The only reason you leave a certain length of time between eating and drinking is because Fluid fills your pouch and prevents you from eating you recommended amount of food, it's really important to get as much goodness out of food as possible. And as for food I had my surgery on the 15th October and I have been told to start introducing soft foods after 6 weeks. Every surgeon is different, and from my understanding each approach gets slightly different results, but that is just my opinion :-p

I had salmon last night...with cucumber salad (vinegar dressing) no starch. I ate about 4 oz of salmon, it was very rare, which is easier to process, not dry at all. Cooked lightly in olive oil and lemon juice, with lemon pepper seasoning. Turned out great, and cooked 8 oz, so have some left for a salmon salad, (kinda like tuna salad, with fat free mayo, celery, onion, etc .)

I love mashed potatoes, but they fill me up too fast and stay in the pouch too long. I try to get my carbs from fruit and veggies.

My surgeon said potatoes are a great option but no rice or other starchy foods though. And I said I ate it over almost 3 meal periods silly that's 3 hours .

I can't get it 6 times a day so I shoot for 4. 30 lbs down and counting

I move on to Cheerios and the like next week. Just softer foods.

It's funny how each surgeon and dietician are different lol.

I agree, they are all soooo different!
