Good morning, i am so glad i found this app. I just had surgery on April 4th. I have a question, I have been in the liquid diet and i am getting tired to of. Did most of u waited til day 15 to try something new?

Every surgeon has a different diet plan. I was allowed Jello, pudding and cream Soups starting the day after surgery. IMO it's not worth rushing ahead to try something not in your plan. I've seen 3 people who had surgery in March like me and skipped ahead and were eating "real" food - French fries, soda. They all got strictures and they aren't even a month out.

Thanks i was given the same diet as u but i am sure getting board of the same foods. I was wanting to till mash potato. What do u think.

I wouldn't do it. It's a big change and we went through a lot to get to this point AND we've got to keep doing a lot to succeed. Just stick it out!

My surgeon requires to continue the liquid diet 3 weeks after you are released from the hospital, and to not continue on another phase til you are seen by him.

Every doctor is different.

My surgeon is strictly Protein. No starches. So i would only follow your guide sheet.

Yup every surgeon is different. Mine had me on liquids for only 2 days after, then puréed for 4 weeks. I saw him 2.5 weeks out and he approved me to go onto soft foods like eggs ricotta canned tuna and chicken but only one new thing a day. He said as long as I take pencil eraser size bites and chew 25-30 times until its puréed in my mouth, I will be fine.
