seiko 9 Posted November 21, 2012 I started eating shrimp like week 2, I could only eat 1 and I chewed it really good. My surgery was Oct 30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwiladydee 402 Posted November 21, 2012 Once the doctor cleared me for soft phase and no more liquid. 2 months. I eat a lot of scallops too Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted November 21, 2012 Each surgeon has a different schedule, I think I was on soft foods like 5 wks out. Just chew, chew, chew, chew and chew some more. I would get really sick if I did not chew my food well enough. Just try a tiny bit... take baby steps with food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
